Lightcone Capital

Lightcone Capital describes itself as building companies rather than mainly investing in them. It names two categories: cash-flow companies meant to grow and become profitable, and moonshot companies, which it says are usually in the longevity space. The website states that it rarely invests and instead works with operative management and founders.

The website says it looks for first- or second-time founders to lead the upcoming companies. It lists Medlanes, Tomorrow Bio and Franklin Institute among things it has built, with statuses shown as exited, moonshot or live. The website does not describe its revenue model or any external customer base.

The company is based in Berlin and is led by Emil Kendziorra, a medical doctor and former cancer researcher, and Mirela Mus, a computer scientist and MBA. The website lists one open role, Founder's Associate in Berlin, and says it is recruiting Founders or CXOs for cash-flow companies.
