Cultivating the Tech Unicorns of Tomorrow

We are a seed and early-stage VC working at the intersection of innovation and growth. It's an exciting intersection, but it's also fast-paced and unpredictable — many of our portfolio companies have experienced rapid acceleration, and we're here to ensure they don't crash in the process.

The Lumin approach - Supporting growth

At Lumin, we believe in a hands-on approach to driving growth and innovation.

  • Startup acceleration. We specialize in providing high-quality strategic advice and resources to help early-stage startups grow. Most of our advice involves telling founders to "move fast and break things," while handing them a handbook full of clichés like "disrupt the market" and "focus on scale."
  • Funding & Capital. Our team is skilled at navigating the latest trends in venture funding, using innovative tools like Excel and a calculator app to calculate exactly how much runway you need. Just don't ask us about the Series B round—we'll say "it's too early to think about that" and then disappear for three months.
  • Growth Strategy. We're at the forefront of startup growth strategies, which mostly means connecting you with other startups that are just as confused as you are. Our growth "hack" involves putting your logo on a slide deck we've been recycling for six years to impress potential co-investors.
  • Mentorship & Network. At our firm, we understand the importance of mentorship. That's why we connect you with seasoned founders who are too busy running their own startups to return your emails. As for networking, we'll introduce you to a room full of other founders, all hoping someone else has the answer to scaling.
