What Lumeria does

The Lumoscope is a multispectral camera that clips onto your phone and scans your skin at home with the same light used in clinics. You see what a mirror can't: a breakout days before it surfaces, and wrinkles changing over time. Our software then reads that history, connects flare-ups to causes you'd never suspect, and matches products to what your own data shows works.

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We make the Lumoscope, a multispectral camera that clips onto your phone and scans your skin at home. It uses the same types of light as clinical dermatology devices to spot issues before you see them in the mirror. Our software tracks changes, links flare-ups to possible causes, and recommends skincare products based on your real data.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, CA. The company will stay based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we work and live, right in the heart of both health tech and hardware startups. This is where the talent and early adopters are.
