We love to partner with and even incubate companies around core dislocations in the enterprise landscape and to build relationships with prospective entrepreneurs, years before they are ready to start building," said Arif Janmohamed, partner, Lightspeed. Arif joined Lightspeed Venture Partners in 2008 and focuses primarily on investments in the areas of cloud, infrastructure, AI, and data driven applications. "We believe in investing at the earliest stages of innovation, partnering with generational entrepreneurs who have clarity of vision, an insatiable desire to build something enduring, the conviction and courage to compete against all odds. Securing a digital world at enterprise scale requires fundamental behavior change. Today's funding approximately 60 per cent more than Lightspeed's flagship fundraise, focuses on expanding the firm's early-stage vehicles and supporting its large and growing global platform, claimed by the company in a statement. Roughly, a fourth of those companies have either been acquired or gone public, with IPOs over the years.
Since Lightspeed's funding, the firm has partnered with more than 500 enterprise, consumer, health and fintech founders and their companies. Separately, Lightspeed India Partners announced the closing of $500 million early-stage fund. Arif Janmohamed is a partner at Lightspeed Venture Partners and has been a VC for 12 years.
Lightspeed Venture Partners has announced the closing of Fund XIV with $1.98 billion., Lightspeed Venture Partners Select Fund V with $2.26 billion and Lightspeed Opportunity Fund with $2.36 billion of committed capital.
