Why Light3

Full-Spectrum Capital Access

We advise across equity, debt, and structured instruments, matching the right capital source to your specific stage, structure, and timeline.

The Light3 Intelligence Engine identifies and evaluates every relevant capital source, not just the ones in our network.

Terms That Protect Your Position

We negotiate beyond headline valuation to ensure governance, dilution, and structural terms work in your favor long-term.

Comprehensive Capital Advisory

Equity Capital Advisory

Growth equity, recapitalizations, and strategic minority investments. We identify investors who bring operational value alongside capital, not just a check.

Debt Advisory

Senior, mezzanine, and unitranche solutions for acquisitions, growth, and refinancing. We know both bank and private credit markets well enough to find flexible, minimally dilutive terms.

Structured Capital

Mezzanine financing, convertible instruments, and hybrid structures when conventional equity or debt doesn't fit. We work through the dilution, control, and cost-of-capital tradeoffs until the structure fits.
