Excited to announce Lume (YC W23)'s $4.2M Seed Round led by General Catalyst! We started building Lume because of a deep problem we faced ourselves as engineers - the painstakingly manual work of data mapping. Due to the unique nature of every system, data mapping has largely remained a manual process, and Lume is solving this. Our customers, ranging from enterprises to startups, use Lume to accelerate data mapping from days to minutes, whether it’s ingesting customer data, mapping taxonomies, normalizing API responses to internal schemas, and much more. It's an honor to build this alongside the smartest people I've ever met, Robert Ross, Nebyou Zewde, and Collin Montag. And, we're proud to be partnering with the very best investors... Puneet Kumar and Brad Flora from Y Combinator. Quentin Clark and Max Rimpel from General Catalyst.
