Descriptiontext

LC Nueva Investment Partners is the Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) brand of Lighthouse Canton Pte Ltd, a Singapore-incorporated multi-business investment firm. LC Nueva was launched in 2021 as a SEBI-registered Category II AIF dedicated to India's startup economy, with a follow-on vehicle — LC Nueva Momentum Fund — introduced in 2024 to explore adjacent opportunities and secondaries. The fund makes direct equity and venture debt investments in early- to growth-stage Indian startups across sectors including technology, consumer brands, mobility, fintech, F&B, and D2C commerce.

The fund operates an investment-led model rather than a product-software model; core deliverables are fund vehicles (LC Nueva AIF and LC Nueva Momentum Fund) and capital deployment into Indian portfolio companies. Documented 2026 transactions include leading Rs 18 crore in PumPumPum (pre-Series A), $3M in TABP Snacks and Beverages (seed), an undisclosed seed in Alaya By Stage3, and participating in Recur Club's $50M round ($8M equity portion led by InfoEdge Ventures). The firm is led by founding partners Ashish Chand and Sohil Chand (Founding Partner & CIO), with operational presence across six Indian cities (New Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, GIFT City) anchored to Lighthouse Canton's Singapore headquarters.

Revenue mechanics follow the standard AIF structure: management fees on committed/deployed capital plus future carried interest on realized exits. Pricing and fee schedules are not publicly disclosed; fund units are placed privately to accredited and institutional investors. As a sub-brand within Lighthouse Canton's broader group — which reported USD 4Bn+ AUM and Advisory as of 31 December 2024 — LC Nueva benefits from shared distribution, regulatory infrastructure, and cross-business deal flow but does not publish standalone financials.
