On March 1, 1980 The Lighting Agency was formed by Art Fisher, whose vision was to develop a collaborative collection of architectural specification lines to complement our major line, Acuity Brands, and to develop an intelligent package of goods to provide to our customers. The Lighting Agency has grown from four employees to thirty, several of whom have been with the Agency over twenty years and many whom are in the 6 - 15 year category. Our company is comprised of highly educated personnel, many coming from the University of Colorado's lighting program inside the school of engineering. The Lighting Agency has maintained solid business relationships for thirty years with many of our manufacturers. We have established lasting friendships and strong alliances with our business partners and employees. The Lighting Agency is recognized as one of the leading and well respected lighting agencies in the country.
Illuminate Ventures is an early-stage VC investor focused exclusively on B2B software companies. We don’t rely on “pattern recognition” or following the herd. Our sweet spot is as a lead or co-lead of a startup's first institutional round of financing. Our team is made up of experienced investors with prior operational success, complemented by a world class, 45+ member Business Advisory Council. We’ve been there ourselves as entrepreneurs and work closely with founders to support them in building truly great companies and teams.
Illuminate’s results speak for themselves. As an early investor in companies like Allocadia, Arkestro, BrightEdge, Contentstack, Pex and Xactly, we have helped them grow their revenue from zero to tens of millions in recurring revenue. Illuminate's prior successful portfolio exits include companies like Xactly (IPO NYSE: XTLY, then acquired by Vista), Coupang (NYSE: CPNG), Opsmatic (Acq by New Relic: NEWR), WildPockets (acq by Autodesk: ADSK), Red Aril (Acq by Hearst Corporation), Sense Platform (acquired by Cloudera), Allocadia (acq by BrandMaker).
