Our story

Built by operators, for operators

Lumina was born from the frustration of running a learning business on a patchwork of tools that don't talk to each other. We built what we wished existed.

Our mission

To give every learning business — from solo coaches to 500-student bootcamps — the infrastructure that was previously only available to well-funded EdTech companies. One platform. No duct tape.

Our vision

A world where starting a learning business is as simple as starting a Shopify store. Where every educator can focus on teaching — and trust their platform to handle everything else.

Our journey

How we got here

From a frustrated bootcamp founder to 2,400+ businesses

2022

The idea

Two founders, both running online programs, realised they were duct-taping six tools together just to send a follow-up email. Lumina was born from that frustration.

2023

First 100 businesses

Launched with CRM and email campaigns. Within six months, 100 learning businesses had replaced Mailchimp and their manual spreadsheets with Lumina.

2024

Payments & sequences

Added native Paystack/Stripe payments, invoicing, and the automated email sequence engine — eliminating the need for a separate payment platform.

2025

2,000 businesses

Crossed 2,000 active tenants. Launched the website builder, gamification engine, and the Integrations Hub for connecting third-party tools.

2026

What's next

AI-powered segmentation, predictive churn detection, and a white-label offering for enterprise bootcamps. We're just getting started.

What drives us

Our core values

The principles behind every product decision we make

Ship things that matter

Every feature we build replaces something our customers are paying for separately. We don't add complexity — we remove it.

Built for every market

Lumina supports Paystack for Africa, Stripe for global payments, and multi-currency invoicing out of the box. Not an afterthought.

Reliability first

98% uptime SLA. 99.2% email deliverability. Your students' experience depends on your tools not falling over — and ours don't.

Customer-obsessed

Every plan includes onboarding support. We don't hide behind docs — we help you set up and succeed.

Outcomes over features

We measure ourselves by how much time we save our customers and how much revenue they generate — not by feature count.

Honest and transparent

Flat-rate pricing. No per-student fees. No surprise charges. You know exactly what you're paying and what you're getting.
