About Lightbox

Lightbox is a YouTube channel run by the Mumbai-based venture capital firm of the same name. It posts panel discussions, explainer videos and short clips about Indian startups, venture funding, consumer brands and startup governance. Recent titles include analysis of the Q2 2025 PE-VC slowdown and a series on preventing fraud in startups. The channel has about 1,600 subscribers and a median of roughly 105 views per video.

The audience is likely made up of Indian founders, operators and investors, with a smaller share from the United States and United Kingdom. These are estimates based on the topics covered, not measured data. Uploads have not occurred in over a year, so the channel is not currently active.

At a $20 to $35 CPM, sponsored integrations would cost about $150 to $250 per video, compared with the typical $10 to $30 CPM for paid ads. Brands in fintech, B2B software or startup services looking for a niche founder audience may consider it, but the low view counts limit reach.
