Congratulations to Luma AI for raising their $20 million Series A

1/  I’m excited to share that Amit Jain and team at Luma AI have just closed a $20 million Series A led by David Beyer and Mike Dauber of Amplify Partners and welcome General Catalyst & NVIDIA ventures along with continued participation from Matrix Partners & South Park Commons.

As an investor of Luma at Context VC, we couldn't be more proud to support such a creative revolution. It is not easy to raise a round in this environment so all credit to Amit and his team for building incredible & accessible 3D technology.

2/ We live in a three dimensional world. Our perception and memories are of three dimensional beings. Yet there is no way to capture and revisit those moments like you are there. All we have to show for it are these 2D slices we call photos. It's time for that to change.

Luma's mission is to enable everyone to capture and experience the world in lifelike 3D. To bring about the next step function change in how we share memories, explore products, and spaces on the internet. To propel photos and videos into our mixed-reality 3D future.

3/ This is a currently a consumer app but there’s so much potential and applicability of this technology from B2B to the United States Department of Defense, US Army, US Navy, United States Air Force, and other national security agencies. I can't wait to see what the future holds for this incredible team & the future of 3D.

4/ They are hiring! There's never been a more exciting time to work on the future of creativity. The Luma AI team is aggressively expanding their team for these roles: generative modeling research scientist, research engineer, backend and infra, & iOS engineer. See here for all of their open roles: https://lumalabs.ai/join

If you’re passionate about generative AI research, find thrill in working with immense quantities of data and engineering systems that can build large foundation models, or want to work on the next generation of UX and tools, then join the Luma team.

5/ Don’t just take my word, see these posts from others on how much people love their technology:
