Today I’m proud to share that Lunos is officially live and our self-serve platform is now open. Alongside that, we’ve raised a $5M pre-seed round led by General Catalyst and Cherry Ventures, with support from an incredible group of angel investors and advisors. Dinika Mahtani, Filip Felician Dames, Max Rimpel, Matt Robinson, Michael C. Greiner, Michael Bannon, Jamie O'Sullivan, Alasdair Monk, Pietro Invernizzi, Grey Baker, Hiroki Takeuchi, Neil Turner, Ahmed Badr. We’re particularly thrilled to have current and former CFOs and collections leaders from companies including Netflix, Bird, Typeform, Trustly, Deliveroo, Zai Lab, GoCardless, Eli Lilly and Company and more. I founded Lunos after spending nearly a decade at GoCardless, helping businesses get paid by pulling money directly from bank accounts. When I left, I realised payments are only part of the story. The real mess is everything before and after - chasing the right person, debating what’s owed, pulling in colleagues, resolving disputes, and following up endlessly. Accounts receivable is not really a payments problem at all, it’s a communication and negotiation problem. When you see what’s really happening up close, it’s like a Wild West out there. Lunos is our answer. It’s an AI co-worker that manages receivables like a colleague would - but one who never forgets, never tires, and works 24/7. It connects to the tools you already use (Intuit QuickBooks, NetSuite, HubSpot and more) and handles the full back-and-forth with customers across email, Slack, and web app (not to mention calls and texts too). This launch is just the beginning. Our vision is to provide the agents for both sides of every transaction, handling the exchange at machine speed. A huge thank you to the customers who've helped us turn this into a reality and to the team that made this happen John G. German Syroezhkin Abdulmusawwir Sanni Alex Mann Bryce J. Aaron Sonenfeld. Here’s to taming the Wild West of receivables - together! Duncan
Congratulations Duncan Barrigan and the Lunos team!
Great to see Duncan Barrigan - congratulations to you and the Lunos team!
Excited to see a true self-serve motion here, letting customers just start testing without long term commitments.
Congrats again on the launch Duncan Barrigan! Lunos has been a game changer for us at GEV. It’s helped us recover payments we thought were gone and made managing our debtor book so much easier. The product really works and the team behind it has been fantastic to deal with. Excited to see where you take it next!
Official welcome to the Cherry Ventures family, Duncan Barrigan! So excited for Lunos and what’s ahead! 🚀🍒
An exciting day for all involved! Bravo
Amazing stuff Duncan
