Direct peers

• Ship2B Ventures: Barcelona-based impact venture capital firm investing in early-stage startups across Southern Europe addressing social and environmental challenges. Co-invested directly with LUMO Labs in Sycai Medical's €3M seed round (Jan 2025), making it a near-perfect co-investor peer in the Iberian impact-tech axis.
• 4impact capital: Dutch impact VC focused on early-stage software and digital startups driving positive societal change. Closely comparable to LUMO Labs in fund size, Benelux base, and impact-thesis focus on UN SDGs; competes for similar Dutch digital deep-tech deal flow.
• High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF): Germany's largest early-stage public-private tech investor, backing deep tech and digital startups from pre-seed to Series A. Direct analogue to LUMO's TTT.AI / public-private partnership model, with comparable focus on German-speaking markets and tech transfer from research institutions.
• Katapult Accelerator & Fund: Norway-headquartered impact accelerator and VC fund backing early-stage startups solving environmental and societal challenges. Connects directly to LUMO's Nordics presence via Senior Partner Linn-Cecilie Linnemann (former Katapult CEO), and shares the impact-mandate pre-seed/seed thesis.
• Astanor Ventures: Brussels-based impact VC investing across Europe at seed and Series A in agrifood, oceans and broader planetary health. Comparable to LUMO in European impact mandate, AUM scale and pre-seed/Series A focus; broader thematic mandate than LUMO's UN-SDG-3-4-11-13 filter.
• Anthemis: UK-based early-stage VC focused on financial services and embedded fintech, with an explicit impact lens. While geographic and thematic overlaps with LUMO are partial, it is among the closest European comparables in size, fund structure and impact-investing positioning for digital startups.
• Kfund: Spain-based early- and growth-stage VC backed in part by public funds (similar model to LUMO's SETT partnership). Investing in Spanish and Southern European tech startups, making it a direct comparator for LUMO's Iberian Peninsula push and €6M SETT LP commitment strategy.

Broad incumbents

• Speedinvest: Vienna-based early-stage venture fund with multiple sector-specific vehicles (deep tech, fintech, health, etc.) investing across Europe from pre-seed to Series A. Significantly larger AUM (€500M+) than LUMO Labs but competing for the same European digital deep tech deal flow at seed and Series A.
• Octopus Ventures: London-based early-to-growth-stage VC (£1.7B AUM) backing purpose-driven startups across health, fintech, deep tech and consumer. Comparable in impact orientation and European footprint but at much greater scale, providing a benchmark for what LUMO's Fund III or Fund IV could become.

Others

• Invest-NL: Dutch national investment institution providing financing to impact-driven and deep-tech startups. Functions as a co-investor alongside LUMO Labs in multiple portfolio companies rather than a direct competitor, but shapes the Dutch funding ecosystem in which LUMO operates and sources deals.
