Lumma Ventures is a EU accelerator program dedicated to supporting founders and operators in building high-potential businesses into internationally competitive, sustainable companies. With a vision to create globally connected accelerator ecosystems, Lumma combines execution-focused mentorship, market-driven strategies, and performance management. Our unique model empowers local operators to run accelerators in their regions while aligning with a unified global framework. By connecting founders, investors, corporate partners, and regional ecosystems, Lumma fosters growth, enhances execution, and drives long-term value creation. The company emphasizes balancing global expertise with local insights for scaling businesses responsibly across diverse markets.
We’re inviting all Angel Investors to join Lumma.vc and support the EU expansion. We’re especially interested in angels who can contribute beyond capital: strategic guidance, go-to-market feedback, hiring support, partnerships, and warm investor introductions. If you invest in high-conviction founders and want a consistent flow of quality opportunities across multiple EU markets, let’s connect.
Our expansion model is partner-led: in each country, we appoint a Managing Partner who owns and operates Lumma Ventures locally under a licensed/franchise-style framework—building the ecosystem, running the program, and growing a high-performing venture pipeline while maintaining consistent Lumma standards across Europe.
