As former founders and angel investors, we've now built the most active seed-stage VC fund in the Nordics. Beyond capital, we aim to help founders navigate how to find and execute product-market-fit, enable rapid growth and lay the groundwork for international expansion.

Our experiences and networks help guide and support founders on their journeys from vision to hyper-growth. Whether it be helping with key first hires, first products, first customers or more crucial decisions on the way to reaching a global scale.

Words from our founders

We’ve heard from several people that Luminar are one of the best seed-investors in Sweden and this is simply true. As operators and lifelong investors, they’ve seen it all and are able help regardless of almost any issue we’ve asked them for.

Lars Erik Fagernæs, Co-Founder and CEO of Aviant

We chose Luminar as our investor because they immediately understood our vision of transforming private market data through product-centric analysis. Their deep expertise in B2B SaaS and data businesses, combined with their hands-on approach to supporting founders, made them the perfect partner for building AlphaLens and Deckmatch into category-defining products.

Léopold Gasteen, Co-Founder and CEO of Deckmatch

I first met Jacob at KTH, and because he is an ex founder and engineer himself we resonated directly with each other. We knew they would bring the hands-on support, global perspective, and shared passion we needed to build a disruptive, scalable solution. Their early belief in our vision made them an ideal partner on our journey.

Tanmoy Bari, Co-Founder and CEO of Greenely

Luminar was our very first institutional investor, stepping in at a crucial early stage. We chose them for their team, their long-term commitment, and their deep experience in supporting ventures right from the beginning. Knowing they had the vision and dedication to help us grow made Luminar the right partner for Petbuddy Group.

Erik Wide Gustafsson, Co-Founder of Petbuddy Group

Their experience in helping early-stage companies grow has been valuable for us as we continue our journey to simplify and enhance B2B payments across Europe. Luminar shares our ambition to drive meaningful change in the industry, and we’re proud to have them as a partner.

Louise Brandt, Co-Founder and CEO at Open Payments
