Cameron Lewis is a Vice President at Lightning Partners, an independent investment bank advising high-growth technology companies on M&A, capital raising, and strategy. Lightning Partners announced on April 10, 2022 that Lewis had joined the firm as a Vice President based in New York City.

Before Lightning Partners, Lewis spent nearly seven years at Spurrier Capital Partners, a middle-market boutique investment bank focused on technology and software.

Spurrier Capital Partners was acquired by Lincoln International in 2022. Lincoln described SCP as a New York-based technology and software-focused investment bank with more than 20 software-focused M&A and capital advisory professionals, bringing expertise in horizontal and vertical application software, infrastructure software, communications software, government technology, and healthcare IT.

Third-party professional profiles list Lewis as having studied at Washington and Lee University and the Danish Institute for Study Abroad, and as having earlier experience with the Williams Investment Society and Triangle Capital Corporation; these details are less authoritative than the firm announcements above.

• Lewis is not publicly verifiable as an active seed angel investor; the strongest verified record shows him as a technology investment banker and transaction advisor.
• Lightning Partners’ advisory focus is “M&A and capital raising to select growth-oriented technology companies,” with an emphasis on customized processes for founders, management teams, and boards.
• His personal sector expertise, per Lightning Partners’ hiring announcement, is concentrated in communications software, customer engagement, employee communications, digital workplace software, HCM, and video technologies.
• Lightning Partners says its approach depends on “People, Positioning and Process,” meaning domain-specific buyer/investor relationships, strategic positioning, and highly customized transaction execution.
• Best fit: growth technology companies with strategic-options work to do, especially software businesses where buyer/investor positioning and a competitive M&A or capital-raise process matter.
