LUMO Labs is an impact-driven multi-stage venture capital fund investing in European startups that use emerging and disruptive digital technologies — AI/Data, Blockchain, IoT, AR/VR, and Digital Security — to solve social and environmental challenges. The fund focuses on four UN SDGs: Health & Wellbeing, Quality Education, Sustainable Cities & Communities, and Climate Action. LUMO targets the critical gap between friends-and-family rounds and Series A, backing pre-seed and seed-stage founders through a bespoke two-year Venture Builder Program that provides capital, mentorship, network access, and operational support to help teams achieve product-market fit and scale.
Notable quotes
“We invest early because of the unique opportunities at this stage. We also invest early because we see there is an absolute need for it. We bridge the ever-widening gap between the friends and family round of support and Series A.”
“Good things are around the corner. We are here to help the great ones turn it. Our structure is specifically designed around the needs of early-stage emerging tech startups as they successfully navigate the critical phase from 'idea, IP plus value proposition' to 'traction, impact and series A.'”
“With strong execution in complex public sector environments and a team that combines technical depth with domain expertise, we believe Avendar is well positioned to reshape and improve investigations across Europe, as well as increase its digital sovereignty and resilience.”
