Lightspeed: Long-term outlook unlocks new opportunities

Founded in 1994, Lightspeed has grown into a successful software company supporting the majority of America’s state-run guaranty fund associations, in addition to some of the largest financial institutions’ back-office banking infrastructures. 10 years into the company’s operations, the original founder handed the reins to his best friend, Marvin Sauer. When it came time for Marv to retire in 2018, he was determined to continue the legacy of Lightspeed by finding a new home the founder would approve of.
