Lightyear Capital has been the majority investor in Schellman since 2021 and will continue to be a minority investor in the company going forward. The investment will accelerate Schellman’s next phase of growth, expanding the firm’s capabilities, scaling its team and enabling Schellman to serve clients across more markets and geographies, with a particular focus on high-demand areas including AI governance, federal compliance, and digital trust.
