Lightship Neuroscience LLC

Neuroscience-based driver safety assessment and training for commercial fleets

Underwriting & Risk Startup Seed

Overview

Lightship Neuroscience LLC is a driver risk assessment and safety training platform for commercial fleet operators, insurance brokers, group captive managers, and carriers. Founded in 2020 in San Diego, California, the company applies neuroscience research to identify cognitive factors that contribute to driving accidents and delivers personalized training to address each driver's specific risk profile.

The platform is delivered via mobile app (smartphone or tablet) and consists of two components: a baseline cognitive assessment that measures individual driver strengths and weaknesses, and a gamified, scenario-based training pathway tailored to each driver's results. AI-powered analysis of real-world video is also integrated. The approach draws on over 15 years of neuroscience research, with roots in athlete performance analysis developed for Major League Baseball.

The company is venture-backed by BrokerTech Ventures and the Global Insurance Accelerator, and has participated in the EY Nexus Growth Lab accelerator. It exhibited at ITC Vegas 2024 and is positioned for commercial fleet deployment through the insurance distribution channel.
