Industrial companies pay billions in energy costs every year, but they don’t have to. We have all the cheap energy sources like PV or wind available but not at the right time. Batteries would be the solution but right now they are running at a fraction of their potential.
That’s why we are building the

Operating System for Industrial Battery Storage.

Lumera orchestrates supply, demand, and market prices to maximize battery profitability. Our software forecasts energy patterns, optimizes in real-time, and controls batteries autonomously.
We are Lena, Leonie and Simon. We are close friends since doing CDTM together in 2021 and until founding Lumera in early 2025, we have crossed paths multiple times. Simon and Leonie researched together on energy forecasting in Stanford while Lena was studying at UC Berkeley. We bring experience from all the big names (BCG, McKinsey, Google or Apple), but also worked and scaled startups.
We were part of the Neo Accelerator (https://www.forbes.com/sites/richardnieva/2025/04/16/this-tech-incubator-is-harder-to-get-into-than-harvard/) this summer and just closed an oversubscribed Pre-Seed with top-tier investors and angels. In just 2 months after launching we have already 6 digits ARR and are growing 30% week over week.
➡️ The goal: Run our software on every battery storage system, creating the world's largest battery fleet for energy trading.

End-to-end ownership
We don't believe in silos. No "sales talks to customers, product writes specs, engineering codes." You own the entire loop: talk to customers, prototype solutions, ship code, gather feedback, iterate. Everyone on the team is a builder who solves real customer problems → no one is a code monkey executing tickets.

Deliver fast, your way
We care about outcomes, not how you work. Need ChatGPT? Grok Max subscription? Can only think on walking pads? You get whatever helps you deliver/ship faster. Your style, your tools, your approach as long as we're delivering value to customers immediately.

Exceptional team + actually have fun
We're combining battery engineering, AI, and energy systems expertise to solve genuinely hard problems. But we also believe the best work happens when people enjoy what they're doing. High intensity, high standards, high impact and lots of fun and jokes.
