## About Lightship Capital

VC Fund · Cincinnati, United States

We turn bias into profit. Lightship Capital is exploiting two market failures to the benefit of our LPs. The first market failure is a lack of venture capital outside of Silicon Valley, the second is a lack of capital for underrepresented founders.
