Announcing the Lunr Advisory Board (L.A.B.)
The landscape for emerging consumer brands is more complex than ever. From supply chain challenges to shifting consumer preferences, founders need partners who understand their day-to-day reality. That's why we're excited to introduce our newly formed Lunr Advisory Board: a group of industry-leading founders, investors, and partners who share our passion for empowering emerging consumer brands.
As a mission-driven company, we strive to keep our eyes on our north star: supporting new and growing businesses through every stage of their journey. This launch ensures we stay closely connected to the most essential voices in our ecosystem—our customers.
Why We Created the Advisory Board
We formed the L.A.B. to bring together diverse expertise and ensure our platform remains aligned with real-world needs. Our focus areas include:
- Gather Practical Insights: Many of our customers struggle with forecasting working capital needs during rapid growth. By listening to those on the front lines, we can develop solutions that directly address these challenges.
- Encourage Open Collaboration: From supply chain disruptions to changing retail dynamics, we believe the best solutions come from transparent dialogue. Our advisory board creates a forum for identifying challenges before they become obstacles.
- Stay Mission-Focused: As we scale, direct feedback from our customers helps us prioritize features that truly matter, shaping the vision of Lunr’s fintech platform.
