History

 

In 2016, the Austin insurance landscape did not include an insurance agency focused on the needs of the tech startup community. Austin needed an agency who understood funding, growth and exits. Hence Lumen was created to meet the needs of the community. Since then, we have helped hundreds of companies navigate through various phases of their growth from formation to exit.

Company Philosophy

 

Our goal is to help educate founders in their early stages and set up an initial insurance program to scale with our clients. We continue to walk through the startup lifecycle as a trusted
insurance advisor.

Geography

We are based in Texas. Our clients are primarily in Texas, but in recent years and by referrals we have expanded to Colorado, California, New York and beyond.
