Lightspeed International

Lightspeed International Inc. was a software company founded in 1995 that developed voice control software for data communications networks, an early entrant in the mid-1990s effort to carry voice traffic over packet-switched data infrastructure. It was co-founded and led by CEO Lev Volftsun and backed at the early stage by Lightspeed Venture Partners. Cisco Systems, Inc. acquired the company in 1997, absorbing its voice-over-data-networks technology and team. The company has not operated as an independent entity since that acquisition, predates the public web API era entirely, and never published an API, developer portal, SDK, or machine-readable interface. Its legacy domain lightspeedinternational.com is now a parked HugeDomains for-sale listing with no live web surface. This profile is retained as a historical record of the Lightspeed Venture Partners portfolio and is not an active API provider. NOTE: unrelated to Lightspeed Commerce (the retail and restaurant POS company profiled at all/lightspeed and all/lightspeed-pos), to Lightspeed Trading at lightspeed.com, and — despite the shared name — a portfolio company of rather than an affiliate of Lightspeed Venture Partners (see x-disambiguation).

human only

Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.

Kin Score

Lightspeed International is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Lightspeed International scores 6.8/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

Properties that don't map to a standard resource type

Lightspeed International is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.
