A stated mandate is a firm’s description of itself and was true of the page on the day it was read; firms widen and narrow what they will look at without updating the site. LightBay Capital states that it takes minority stakes rather than control. The team figure counts the people the firm shows on one team page, so it is a floor rather than a headcount: firms that split their team across tabs or load it in pages will read low. Nothing here is a commitment by LightBay Capital to consider any particular business, and nothing on this page is represented as being for sale.
