A16z leads $78M in Neo startups Lumos, Graphite, Convex

Hi Neo family,

Please join us in congratulating Lumos ($30M), Convex ($26M) and Graphite ($20M) on raising Series A rounds led by A16Z - an exciting week for the Neo community.

Like an app store for corporations, Lumos lets employees install new services with ease instead of going through the dreaded IT department. Meanwhile, IT loves Lumos because it seamlessly covers security, identity, permissions, and more. We’re sso proud to have backed them since before the beginning: Andrej Safundzic and Leo Mehr started Lumos at Neo Hack Month in 2020, and cofounder Alan Flores-Lopez was a Neo Scholar since 2017. You auth to check Lumos out!
