Lumos Sleep is a San Francisco-based startup founded in 2015 with the mission of addressing America’s chronic lack of sleep. Driven by the slogan "Enhancing human performance with the power of sleep," the company offers a scientifically-proven sleep mask designed to deliver personalized light therapy to realign the body's internal clock. This innovative approach aims to help users fall asleep faster, enjoy longer and better quality sleep, and wake up feeling rejuvenated and prepared to seize the day.
The startup, founded by Dr. Vanessa Burns and Dr. Biquan Luo, collaborates with leading experts in the field and is based on patented technology licensed from Stanford University’s Center for Sleep Medicine. Lumos targets a diverse market segment including jet lagged travelers, elite athletes, teenagers, and shift workers, positioning itself within the consumer electronics, health care, and sports industries.
In 2016, Lumos secured a significant $1M seed round investment from a select group of notable investors, including NASA, Bolt, Oriza Ventures, Grit Labs, and Stanford, marking a pivotal moment in the company's journey. Additionally, the venture attracted StartUp Health as an investor in its latest funding round, which took place on 7th October 2022.
