Los Angeles-based BroadLight Capital has launched a $225 million inaugural fund.

The fund will invest in growth stage companies across the consumer and technology sectors.

BroadLight was founded by entertainment attorney Kevin Yorn, talent manager Rick Yorn and investment banker David Dorfman.

Previously, Dorfman was the global head of technology, media & telecom investment banking at Macquarie Capital.

“BroadLight is a natural extension of the client-focused businesses that my brother Rick and I have each led for the past thirty years,” said co-founder Yorn in a statement. “We have introduced hundreds of high growth businesses and their founders to our network that extends beyond the global entertainment business and reaches entrepreneurs, creatives, investors and influencers of culture.”

In addition to the fund, BroadLight recruited former TCV and Wellington investor Landon Jaussi as a partner.
