Recent Additions to the Lakeshore Portfolio
Lakeshore recently added two new interesting companies to the portfolio. One that is empowering everyday users to be entrepreneurs by combining wireless technology with blockchain, and another that is tackling the unsexy problem of bringing laundry operators into the 21st century with a vertical SaaS solution to run their businesses. Investors in Lakeshore’s 2021 Fund will own these companies as part of a portfolio with ~20-30 diversified investments. View Our Portfolio »
