Not just an accelerator.

A long-term partner

Startups are hard. Most accelerators focus purely on the business mechanics like growth, metrics, and fundraising. While those matter, we believe the biggest constraint on a company's growth is often the founder's own capacity to lead.


Lighthouse Network serves early-stage founders (Pre-Seed to Series A) with a human-centered approach. We combine capital access and tactical support with deep leadership development.
