TL;DR
Luminous is an operating system for e-commerce brands focused on inventory management, wholesale/EDI, and order management.
What's the backstory?
Founder Jared Ward previously served as a Director of Supply Chain, and later CEO, at Qualtry, an 8-figure omnichannel brand.
Luminous was initially self-funded by Ward; the company later raised a $2.7 million VC round.
The company stayed in beta until the end of 2023, officially launching their go-to-market in 2024.
Luminous has grown to over 100 customers today, with plans to reach 300 customers by the end of 2025.
