Lighthouse Capital Partners was co-founded in 1994 by Rick Stubblefield and Gwill York, who had previously worked together for 6 years at Comdisco Ventures. Under their leadership of the first five Lighthouse investment partnerships, and in conjunction with the firm’s other investment professionals, Lighthouse grew into the premier venture debt provider in the U.S., with  almost $1.6 billion invested in more than 450 companies across these five funds.
