Hearthlight Ventures

Turning dreams into plans, and plans into impact — that’s what we do best. We work with entrepreneurs who have bold visions for their communities but lack the structural support to make them real. Through our program, founders receive step-by-step guidance that transforms abstract ideas into actionable strategies. We start by clarifying purpose, mapping out community needs, and identifying sustainable business models that align with the founder’s ethics. From there, we provide hands-on coaching, accountability check-ins, and connection to an extensive mentor and funder network. Many of our participants are navigating business ownership for the first time, and we ensure they never have to do it alone. We celebrate experimentation and create space for trial and error — because learning is just as important as launching. By the end of our cohort, founders leave not just with a business plan, but with confidence, clarity, and a supportive community behind them. We don’t just help people build businesses — we help them become builders of change, resilience, and possibility.
