Our take
Lumenate helps users to live more fulfilling lives by offering all the tools to effortlessly explore their subconscious. Its app - on iOS and Android - guides users into a powerful altered state of consciousness, so that they can explore their subconscious thoughts to gain valuable and impactful insights.
These benefits can be obtained even with busy schedules, as a deeply meditative state can be achieved in seconds, with no previous experience. Lumenate's method of neural guiding is scientifically research-based, and does all the hard work for users.
The Lumenate co-founders actually purchased their own EEG brain scanner due to the limited scientific literature, and discovered several advantages to the app's use. These include increased functional connectivity, increased signal complexity, reduced default mode network activity, and reduction of peak alpha brainwave activity.
Lumenate aims to take its app to the next level, as well as grow and develop the business. This will help Lumenate to continue inspiring people to live more fulfilling and freer lives via subconscious exploration.

I've noticed that it's so common to see companies retrofit a "mission" into their story these days. With Lumenate it's so incredible to see this mission genuinely trickle down into what we do day-to-day and speaking to our customers and hearing about how we've helped them lead a more fulfilling life in some way or another is honestly one of the parts of my job that I'm most grateful for.

It's really clear to see how equal all opinions are here. The voices of the most junior members in the company are heard just as clearly as the most senior and given the same amount of respect and consideration.

Whether it's through reviews, communities, user interviews, or even just speaking to family or friends - it's never gets old hearing about the difference our app has made to peoples' lives. We have a Slack channel called "wall-of-love" where everyone shares any particularly moving words that our customers have left us. I personally haven't come across anything more motivating than finding genuine meaning in what you do.

Lumenate's mission statement literally includes inspiration in the title: 'On a mission of inspiring people to live freer and more fulfilling lives through accessible subconscious exploration.' I joined Lumenate partially because of their mission statement, as well as their pledge to inspire their customers as well as their employees. It's honestly a really wonderful place to work.
