How is Lumis different from CB Insights?

Lumis synthesizes multiple AI/tech research sources (Hacker News, arXiv, The Batch, Latent Space) into a single daily briefing delivered to your inbox. CB Insights focuses on Venture-backed research and market intelligence. Lumis works passively — you receive your briefing each morning — while CB Insights requires more active engagement.

What does Lumis cost?

Founding members lock in at $9/mo — a fraction of most comparable services. That's 499 of the first 500 founding spots remaining before pricing increases.

Does Lumis cover the same sources as CB Insights?

Lumis synthesizes Hacker News, arXiv cs.AI, deeplearning.ai (The Batch), and Latent Space — the original research signals, not newsletter summaries of them. If CB Insights covers these sources, Lumis brings them together into one ranked, AI-synthesized briefing.

If you currently use CB Insights

What changes with Lumis: Lumis is for individual operators who want the AI research signal without the enterprise contract. $9/mo, not $50,000/year.

What CB Insights does better: CB Insights is an enterprise intelligence platform used by Fortune 500 companies and VCs — covering startup funding, market maps, and competitive analysis at massive scale.

Comparison searches are the warmest intent on the web — you're mid-evaluation, not browsing casually. Lumis is built for the researcher who wants the signal without the overhead. Lock the founding price before the first 500 spots fill.
