"Non-dilutive capital has been an integral part of our funding strategy, and we couldn't be happier with the Lighter Capital experience.  Beyond capital, Lighter has provided support, community, and networking opportunities—they really feel part of the team."

Peter Hall, Co-founder at Helio

The Experience

Expect a packed schedule that’s structured to help you grow your startup more effectively, advance your leadership skills, and build new relationships.

 

Panel sessions and roundtable discussions are guest-led. Attendees will have a say in the topics we cover over the course of the Summit. A detailed agenda will be released prior to the Summit.

The Summit also provides a great opportunity for you to get to know the folks at Lighter Capital! Be sure to let us know how we can continue to best support you through our partnership.

“I came away from the Lighter Summit energized and with a new perspective on how to move my business forward. Someone said that being an entrepreneur is lonely—how true! Spending a few days sharing experiences with other members of the 'Lonely-Hearts Club' was like stopping at an oasis in the middle of the desert. It will have an impact on me for a long time to come.”

David Gould, Principal at Solution One Partners

The Summit will be held in a semi-closed event space as well as an open-air environment for meals. As needed, we will take precautions for any surges due to COVID-19.
