Harbor Light Capital Partners focuses on investments that are capital efficient (typically raising less than $50M throughout the lifecycle) which translates into investments from HLCP in the $1-$5 million range. We target the “funding gap” for early stage companies, which often occurs between seed funding and the first institutional round, although we also lead traditional A rounds. Unlike traditional institutional investment funds, we are not limited to shorter holding periods (typically 4 to 6 years). Therefore, we make decisions based on what is best for the growth and success of the business in the long term and try to ensure that proper foundational elements are in place.
