WHO ARE WE
A social trading platform
built for the investors the industry forgot.
The name Lumes comes from lumen — to illuminate. We exist because financial markets have grown wealthier, faster, and more opaque at the same time. Retail investors are asked to allocate in the dark, while institutional desks operate with signal, tooling and scale most people will never see.
We are rebuilding that asymmetry from the user's side. Lumes gives retail investors institutional-grade intelligence in a social wrapper: the ability to follow a verified PRO trader, copy their strategy in two taps, understand why it works, and scale it with AI-assisted automation — all under a regulated, transparent framework.
We ship as three connected product lines. Lumes for PROs is the marketplace where retail learns and copies. Lumes OEM is the white-label layer that brings the same engine into brokers, banks and gestoras. Lumes Academy is the education layer that turns followers into allocators.
Our roadmap is deliberately global: USA-first for positioning, Brazil-first for validation, LATAM from Series A onward. Our compliance posture is dual-jurisdiction by design — SEC/FINRA in the United States, CVM in Brazil — because social trading only scales if it scales safely.

THE LUMES MANIFEST
We believe markets should be open. Not opaque.
We believe signal should travel.
Not get trapped.
We believe retail investors deserve the same edge as institutions — just in a different language.
01
Following a PRO shouldn't require a private bank, a $10M ticket, or an inside line. It should require a tap.
02
Community compounds faster than capital. A network of
verified traders is more durable than any single fund.
03
Transparency is the only sustainable alpha. If a strategy can't be explained, it shouldn't be followed.
04
The next generation of investors won't be trained by brokers. They'll be trained by each other.
05
Automation is for execution — never for the decision.
Humans allocate intent. Machines remove friction.
06
Education and execution belong in the same app, on the same day. Learning without action compounds nothing.
07
We measure ourselves in allocator outcomes, not platform vanity. If our users don't prosper, we haven't shipped.
08
We operate under dual-jurisdiction compliance by design. Inclusion without protection is not inclusion — it's exposure.
We're not here to sell a dream. We're here to replace the dealer with the network.
CREATE. INVEST. PROSPER.

THE FOUNDING TEAM
Two operators. Three decades of compounding expertise.
A founding team structured for what Lumes actually demands: deep technical architecture on one side, USA+LATAM growth and compliance-aware distribution on the other. Full-stack coverage across the two regulated markets where we launch.
HOW WE OPERATE
Six operating principles that shape every decision.
These aren't values on a wall — they are the filters we apply to product scope, hiring, capital allocation and partnerships.
01 — CLARITY
Clarity beats cleverness.
Every interface, every ad, every investment memo: if it can't be understood in one read, it doesn't ship.
02 — CAPITAL EFFICIENCY
Ship more with less.
Geographic arbitrage on engineering, founder-led growth in Phase 0, paid media only after PMF signals. Every dollar earns its place.
03 — COMPLIANCE AS A MOAT
Regulation is a feature.
Dual-jurisdiction by design — SEC/FINRA and CVM — because the social trading category only scales if the underlying platform is legally inatacável.
04 — COMMUNITY-LED
Distribution is a byproduct
of usefulness.
Our PROs are the channel. Every feature is evaluated against a single question: does it make a PRO more likely to bring their following with them?
05 — GLOBAL FROM DAY ONE
USA-first, Brazil-native,
LATAM-ready.
English is our first language of product. Portuguese and Spanish ship as first-class citizens, not afterthoughts.
06 — MEASURED IN OUTCOMES
Allocators, not users.
We don't optimize for time-on-app. We optimize for allocated capital and allocator retention. Vanity is the enemy of prosperity.
Building the platform that
replaces the dealer with the network.
Whether you're a retail investor looking for an edge, a PRO looking for distribution, or aninvestor looking to back the category — this is the moment to get early.
