Lumina & Scalable: Raymond Lei

Thank you for tuning into "Starting Small", a podcast about brand development, entrepreneurship, and innovation in the modern world. In this episode, I am joined by Raymond Lei, co-founder of Lumina, the world's first studio-quality 4k webcam powered by AI. Growing up with a heavy entrepreneurial spirit, Raymond created his first company, "ooShirts", while in high school. He came across the problem of printed on-demand shirts, to be overpriced, along with an extensive wait time. Solving this problem with "ooShirts" and after massive growth, Raymond dropped out of UC Berkeley to focus on the business full time. 

Since then, Raymond launches numerous companies within the printing and E-commerce sector, processing over $1 billion in transactions. Fast forward to 2021, Raymond and his co-founder, Mike, created Lumina out of the visible lack of quality in remote team meetings. When in meetings, the person with the greatest quality video, typically attracts the most attention from the team. By introducing Lumina, they are able to provide a 4k studio-quality webcam, without the excessive need for extra equipment. Now your entire team can have the greatest quality possible, at a low cost and minimal setup. Launching this week (8/24), Lumina is already at $240,000, with 1,420 backers in just two days.
