LightShed Partners, a US-based boutique research firm founded by media analyst Rich Greenfield in 2019, has set up a corporate venturing fund.
LightShed Ventures is raising $75m to invest in seed and series A rounds across technology, media and telecom sectors, according to news provider Barron’s.
Alongside Greenfield in the fund are Walter Piecyk, Brandon Ross and Jamie Seltzer, who previously worked at venture capital firm Waverly Capital.
Greenfield told Barron’s: “I write about disruption. This will make our research even stronger. We have been looking across both public and private companies for a long time.”
