Lighthouse Network
Overview
Lighthouse Network, formerly known as Lighthouse Labs, is a Richmond, Virginia-based startup accelerator that has been supporting early-stage founders since 2012. The organization offers a comprehensive 11-week program providing $20,000 in equity-free funding, mentorship from industry experts, and access to a network of investors and support services. This program is designed to help startups develop quickly and expand their market presence. In May 2025, Lighthouse Labs rebranded to Lighthouse Network to reflect its expanded focus on long-term founder development. The organization now runs a single annual cohort and dedicates the rest of the year to supporting alumni through initiatives such as investor roadshows, mentor support, fundraising assistance, and advanced curricula. This shift aims to provide continuous support to founders beyond the initial accelerator program. Lighthouse Network has a track record of investing in a diverse range of industries, including technology, healthcare, education, and consumer goods. Since its inception, the organization has supported numerous startups, helping them secure significant funding and create jobs. The rebranding to Lighthouse Network signifies a commitment to investing in the lives of entrepreneurs, not just their companies, emphasizing the importance of founder well-being in building sustainable, high-growth ventures.
