Accelerator & Investments

The LightCastle Way

At LightCastle, we put emphasis on developing solid business models, centered around data-driven approaches and clear product/value. We deliver on our promise for SMEs and startups through our accelerator and investments unit. The recipe is simple: adopt lean startup principles, run classroom and experiential sessions, expand networks and facilitate capital.

While our present focus lies in agriculture and technology, going forward we aim to capitalize on growth opportunities across other promising verticals, too.

"From ACDI/VOCA we made a great partnership with LightCastle for running a business accelerator program targeting women-led MSMEs. I appreciate their sincerity to tailor the coursework material considering the need of women agri-entrepreneurs to address their specific needs. They are indeed a true game changer for the next generation MSMEs!"

"Finding venture capital investments is a good challenge in Bangladesh. This is when we connected with LightCastle Partners, with their expertise to raise alternative investments. Their data-driven approach is excellent that helped us achieve grant funding from BFPB Challenge Fund."
