Mac Mountain Launches LightCraft to Power Its Broadband Partnership Model and Accelerate Subscriber Growth

New Operational Division Manages the Full Lifecycle of Broadband Networks for Builders, Developers and Service Providers

WOODSTOCK, Vt.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mac Mountain today announced the official launch of LightCraft, its dedicated operational division responsible for overall management of partners operations that includes planning, building, operating, sales support and financing broadband networks for partners across the country.

The new division is a critical component of Mac Mountain’s “one-of-a-kind” broadband partnership model introduced in October, an approach designed to increase subscribers and provide long-term shared cashflow to network providers offering fiber broadband connectivity, such as ISPs, CUDs and municipalities. While Mac Mountain provides the strategic vision, investment strategy and partnership framework, LightCraft executes every aspect of network delivery, bringing fiber networks online quickly, cost-effectively and at scale.

“LightCraft exists to make our partners successful,” said Scott Sampson, CEO of LightCraft. “We handle everything from design and deployment to ongoing network operations and customer support. This allows builders, developers and service providers to focus on what matters most -- increasing subscribers, reducing operational costs and delivering reliable broadband to their communities while benefiting from shared, recurring cash flow.”

A Turnkey Operational Arm Built for Growth

LightCraft serves as the unified operational platform behind Mac Mountain’s broadband ecosystem. Through a shared services model that centralizes systems and best practices, LightCraft reduces costs, streamlines execution, accelerates builds and strengthens network performance across all partner networks—while allowing each partner to maintain and grow its local brand.

LightCraft manages the complete lifecycle of broadband deployment through five core pillars:

• Finance: Securing funding, deploying resources and providing continuous financial oversight, including balance sheet support, revenue bond structuring and credit fund investments.
• Design: Planning routes and infrastructure for maximum efficiency and community coverage.
• Build: Coordinating construction, utilities and project management to bring fiber networks online quickly.
• Sell: Supporting sales strategies, customer acquisition, marketing and subscriber engagement
• Operate: Overseeing day-to-day operations, maintenance, customer support and financial management to ensure reliability and long-term performance.

By managing these critical functions, LightCraft enables partners to focus on growth, community relationships and subscriber satisfaction while Mac Mountain aligns investment and strategy to support long-term value creation.

“LightCraft is the engine that turns our partnership model into long-term financial value,” said Alex Rozek, founder and CEO of Mac Mountain. “By combining Mac Mountain’s investment strategy with LightCraft’s hands-on operational excellence, we help partners expand subscriptions, ensure communities receive high-performing broadband from day one and create sustainable, shared cash flow. LightCraft is essential to delivering next-generation broadband efficiently and profitably.”

A Model Designed for Communities and Long-Term Value

Mac Mountain’s investment strategy, including financial structuring, credit investments and revenue-bond support, provides the capital foundation needed for sustainable broadband expansion. LightCraft’s operational engine brings those investments to life, creating a seamless, repeatable model that enables partners to scale faster and provide lasting value to residents and businesses.

“Broadband is foundational infrastructure,” Rozek added. “Our partnership model, powered by LightCraft, gives builders, developers, municipalities and service providers a way to expand next-generation broadband efficiently while creating long-term, utility-like financial returns. LightCraft makes it all possible.”
