Lumina

Investor deck · 12 October 2026

Where your people hang out.

Chat, voice and video rooms, a short-video feed and a way for creators to get paid, in one app.

Badger Studios LLC

The problem

A community shouldn't need five apps.

Talk

In a chat app

Spaces, voice and direct messages live in one product.

Watch

In a video app

Clips go to a different place and a different audience.

Get paid

In a third tool

Payments sit apart from the people who pay.

Three accounts, three audiences, and nothing built around the community itself.

The product

One app for the whole community.

Spaces and voice rooms

Text channels with threads, polls and reactions. Voice and video rooms with screen sharing.

A short-video feed

A For You feed lives inside the app, next to your communities. Every upload is reviewed by staff.

Creators get paid

Memberships, tips and gifts, with every cent in a ledger you can check.

How we're different

Run by people, not a platform.

Your data is never sold or used to target ads

No advertising sold against your conversations

No engagement algorithm you can't switch off

Export or delete your account whenever you want

We earn when communities and creators do well, not by measuring you for advertisers.

Paste-link import is live. The bot-assisted move is built and awaiting its first real-server test.

Web

Any browser. Nothing to install.

Installer, or a portable zip.
