A studio built to be owned
for decades.

Lightpoint Ventures was founded in 2026 and is based in Menlo Park, California. We build and back software for work that still runs on experienced judgement, and we stay with what we build.

The studio

We build

Our own companies, in trades where the standard lives in an experienced person's head and takes years to learn. The first, in dentistry, is in stealth.

Portfolio

We back

Angel-size first checks for founders working on the same kind of problem, with the people who build our own companies at the table.
