— WRITE TO US
What would you like to discuss?
A few sentences are enough. Tell us whether you are exploring growth, preparing for exit, assessing an acquisition, testing an investment case or looking for customer evidence. A Lighthouse partner will review your enquiry and suggest the right next step.
Commercial Due Diligence
I need to test an investment case
Independent commercial due diligence for PE, VC and strategic acquirers. We test the market, customer demand, competitive position, growth assumptions and the risks behind the investment case.
Voice of the Customer
I need customer evidence
Voice of the Customer research, NPS analysis and customer diligence for growth, investment and M&A decisions. We speak to customers directly to understand loyalty, churn risk, buying behaviour and future demand.
Buy-side M&A support
I’m looking at an acquisition
Buy-side M&A support for technology acquirers, investors and management teams. We help with target identification, market mapping, approach strategy, commercial assessment and deal execution.
EXIT STRATEGY
I’m preparing for a sale or investment
Exit strategy, growth story and buyer/investor readiness for technology businesses. We help you sharpen the commercial narrative, evidence the opportunity and identify what needs fixing before a process starts.
Send a note to a partner
Tell us what decision you are trying to make.
We need very little to get started. A short note about the decision you are facing, the timeframe and any context that would help. A partner will reply personally.

CAREERS
Join the team.
We are a small partner-led team and rarely recruit through inbound. We will read every introduction we receive, but we will only reply where there is a genuine fit. Please send a short note rather than a CV.
Newsletter
AI-Proof, our weekly AI briefing
A practical weekly email on what is changing in AI and what it means for business leaders. We focus on the tools, trends and use cases that help companies understand AI, adopt it sensibly and start creating value.
— COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Questions that come up often. If yours is not here, write anyway — we would rather hear from you.
Do you only work with technology companies?
Technology is our core focus. We work with software, data, digital services and tech-enabled businesses, as well as the investors and acquirers evaluating them.
Do you work with private equity and venture capital firms?
Yes. Lighthouse supports PE and VC investors with commercial due diligence, Voice of the Customer research, market validation and investment thesis testing, particularly in technology markets.
Is my enquiry confidential?
Yes. Nothing you send here is shared outside Lighthouse. For sensitive discussions, we will sign an NDA at first substantive contact.
Do I need to have a project in mind to reach out?
No. We are happy to open a conversation at the “thinking about it” stage. Most of our relationships start that way.
Can you help before a company is ready to sell?
Yes. Much of our exit strategy work starts before a formal process. We help management teams sharpen their growth story, evidence quality, buyer positioning and value creation plan.
I am a founder of an earlier-stage business. Can we still talk?
Our mandate work is with established technology businesses, but we are glad to have an introductory conversation and, where useful, point you toward someone better placed.
What is the best way to brief Lighthouse?
A short note is enough. Tell us the decision you are trying to make, the timeframe, and whether it relates to growth, M&A, diligence, customer evidence or AI strategy, and let's get an exploratory call set up.
How quickly will I hear back?
A partner reviews every enquiry. We aim to reply within two working days. Occasionally it takes longer, but we always come back personally.
How quickly can you start?
It depends on the scope and our availability, but diligence and M&A situations are often time-sensitive, so we prioritise speed where there is a clear fit.
