Lefkofsky was a co-founder of Lightbank, though he became 'Special Advisor' in 2014-2015 during his tenure as CEO of Groupon. He then returned to Lightbank as managing partner in November 2015 after stepping down as CEO of Groupon.
Paul Lee, a general partner at Lightbank, left the venture fund in November 2014 to start Roniin, a venture capital firm which has a mentor model where veteran entrepreneurs mentor fresh ones and Roniin provides capital to increase chances of startup success.[14] He subsequently re-branded Roniin to Builders Studios and launched BuildersVC.
Victor Pascucci III was announced as managing partner of Lightbank in February 2017. This move allowed Lefkofsky and Keywell to step back and focus on their growing start-up companies. Pascucci was most recently a partner at Munich Re, a German reinsurance company.
