About Nepse Lightning

Nepse Lightning is a digital marketplace designed to give investors early access to Nepal’s most promising private companies—in some cases, well before they list on NEPSE.

We bring structure, transparency, and accessibility to unlisted shares (private startups or promoter holdings), and pre-IPO investments, enabling informed participation in high-growth opportunities traditionally reserved for insiders.

Nepse Lightning was built to solve a critical capital access problem in Nepal. Many Nepali businesses and startups struggle to grow not due to a lack of ideas, but a lack of structured access to capital. We are building Nepal’s first marketplace that facilitates funding for early-stage and pre-IPO companies in a transparent and responsible way. Founded by a Nepali technologist who left the country following the 2019 blockchain ban and returned after half-a-decade of global experience, Nepse Lightning brings modern private-market infrastructure to Nepal—supporting businesses before they go big or public, and empowering investors before the opportunity becomes obvious.
