🎉 Congrats @robingerardlobo, Tauseef Khan, & @lumian_ai team on their $3M raise!

Over 100,000 brands now do $1M+ a year on Amazon, but most are still stuck w/ agencies built for a different era. Lumian flips that: AI agents running 24/7 across listings, ads, inventory & more

ANNOUNCING LUMIAN

We raised $3 million to rebuild how Amazon brands are run in the age of AI.

Faster. Better. For a fraction of what traditional agencies charge today.

Bold claim? Let me prove it.

RT + comment “LUMIAN” and I’ll get our latest AI agent to do a FULL AUDIT on your listings.

@heyivo @mkjung_ That conviction has made @heyIvo the platform teams trust to move faster, reduce risk, and unlock real intelligence from contracts—now powering hundreds of customers, from IBM and Uber to Shopify and Atlassian.

Congrats @heyivo on their $55M Series B! 🎉

What has stood out from day one is @mkjung_ and Jacob Duligall's clarity of vision. Contracts should not be a bottleneck. They should be a strategic advantage.

Huge thanks to our founders, LPs, partners, and the tech community for an unforgettable 2025. Excited to double down in 2026 with a strong start and early portfolio wins including @select_dev and @SGNL_ai acquisitions last week!

[Fika Ventures @fikavc]

2025 at Fika was all about launching Fund 4, building community across coasts, and leveling up how we support founders from AI-powered platform work to 580+ recruiting and BD intros. A quick look back at what made it unforgettable 👇

👶 +1 Baby the most important milestone of the year!

Building a firm means building community. #LATechDayofService brought LA tech together to give back with 1,400+ food kits, 600+ school bags, and 300+ meals 💛

AI in insurance started with automation: faster quotes, smoother workflows.

But the next wave is AI that drives revenue. Platforms like Outmarket AI, Coverforce, and Liberate help brokers sell smarter, not just work faster.

1/ What’s the one trait that sets successful startups apart?

It’s not pitch decks, market size, or pedigree.
It’s responsiveness.

Fast replies = focus, momentum, execution.📬
We studied 94 of our portcos at @fikavc and the results were wild.👇
