Luma — Foster meaningful relationships with events and newsletters
Social media (and PH) are great places to share content, but it's hard to foster new relationships. We built Luma to help your community deepen relationships with events, newsletters, member profiles.

Just got invited to my first community on this platform and the signup was fast and smooth! Love the map.

Love the progress Luma's making... they're providing a pretty unique combination of tools for creators/makers... and I'm curious who their ideal customers ultimately are.
Luma just hit the 1 year mark this weekend! I posted a Twitter thread about it here: https://twitter.com/VictorPontis...
We started last March when Whitney, a friend of mine, was laid off her job teaching yoga. She wanted to keep teaching on online but found it hard to coordinate Zoom links, calendar invites, reminders, track Venmo, etc, etc.
In a week, we built her a really simple event page. She was able to keep up w/ the regulars that couldn't come to class. But she also invited a lot of people who couldn't make her in person classes because they lived far away.
While her in person class got canceled, she created a new community online that brought people together from across the US.
With Luma, we're trying to build the platform that helps online communities foster meaningful relationships. Where you can learn a new skill, make a new friend, find motivation, or just spend time hanging out with other cool people.
Are you running an online community? Or are you part of an online community that you really like? I'd love to hear from you!
@viccypont I love the continued growth of Luma since we first listed them on https://servicetoproduct.com/sof... . Simple to get started and powerful features for creators.
This looks really interesting. Although I'm a little confused about what it actually is...
At first I thought it was a community platform (ie. discord) but with newsletter + event features. Now that I've gone through all the front-facing pages, it seems like a newsletter product with payment gateways and landing pages. Really unique angle... but kind of confusing.
Also seems very limited. I've been looking for a place to take my 25k email subscribers and then saw on the pricing page that there's a 10k email subscriber limit. I'll have to wait until they lift that limitation.
@dustinwstout hi Dustin, yea we are working on improving the messaging — it's a bit confusing right now. We're working on improving the community platform features.
Re your 25k email subscribers, we have hosts w/ similar size lists but they are on custom pricing. Happy to chat thru that w/ you
I'd really love to recommend Luma. It has everything I want for my events, except that I can't set a timeline for how many days people have to use their credit when I make a credit pack in memberships. Luma already states to customers that the credit never expires. Which is bad for business. I may not be doing the same types of events or services they paid for down the line, and it takes away customer urgency. I have something great that I know will change their lives, they'll take longer to do it if I give them something that they can hold on to for months or even years. No, please luma, change this or tell me how. I want my events to expire credits to expire after 60-90 days. Not Never! I really disappointed that I may not be able to use this system. I love it.
@eugenehp we've made a lot of improvements over the past couple months and a lot more is coming soon!
If you've tried out Luma newsletters, I'd love to hear what you do and don't like
I love Luma! It's so simple, and I really love how it's allowed me to grow my Podcast and Connect with more creators!
I've already noticed PH relations mostly do not go further PH network, that's ashamed. So that's a good idea guys! Well done :)
Looks like great alternative to Meetup. Is there ability to cross post events to Meetup, Eventbrite, Facebook, LinkedIn?
@vlad_korobov we don't do that automatically but you can post to different places
LOVE luma. I really can't say enough good things about this product. I've been using Luma since last July to help my spin instructor create and sell virtual spin classes, and it's been a huge success. Thank you!
Recomiendo Luma a personas creadores de contenido y sobretodo a personas crear y gestionar una comunidad 🚀
