What we do

Three directions.
One network.

Lumen works across connections, capital and growth. Each direction stands on its own, and they are strongest when combined around the needs of a specific project or partner.

01 - Lumen Connect

Strategic Connections & Partnerships

Lumen Connect focuses on the relationships that move a project forward: the right partner, the right ecosystem, the right conversation at the right time. We take time to understand what you are building and where you are heading, then make introductions where there is a clear fit for both sides.

  • Strategic introductions

    Targeted introductions to founders, companies, operators and decision-makers relevant to your stage and goals.

  • Business partnerships

    Identifying partnerships with complementary products, platforms and service providers.

  • Ecosystem connections

    Access to protocols, platforms, communities and ecosystem programs across Web3 and adjacent industries.

  • Business development

    Support in opening and progressing conversations with potential partners, clients and distribution channels.

  • Founders & builders

    Connections with experienced founders, builders and companies for collaboration and knowledge exchange.

Best suited for
  • Projects looking for partners
  • Companies entering Web3
  • Ecosystems seeking builders

02 - Lumen Capital

Venture & Capital Opportunities

Lumen Capital connects promising projects with investors whose thesis, stage and interests are a genuine match, and gives investors access to carefully sourced opportunities. Our role is to make relevant introductions and help both sides prepare for productive conversations.

  • Investor introductions

    Introductions to angels, venture funds, family offices and strategic investors aligned with your sector and stage.
