Mission

Lorcan and Stefan founded Lua to change how digital interaction happens. We’re not here to build a good startup — we’re here to build an era-defining technology company.

Our customers run their markets — heritage sites, hospitality groups, supermarket chains, banks and fintechs, insurers, across Africa, the Middle East and South Asia. 64,000+ people, $5bn+ a year, all going AI-native on Lua.

How we work

Seven things we hold each other to.

01Urgency

Ship value today, and every day. We don’t wait for perfect conditions.

02Think bigger

Take the plan and 10x it. The ambition is generational, not traditional.

03Humility

No one has all the answers, and no one is more important than the team.

04Transparency

Over-communicate, surface challenges early. Hard on the problem, never the person.

05Smart bets

Everything is harder and slower than expected. Choose deliberately, then commit entirely — as a team.

06Customer obsession

Understand customers better than they understand themselves. Infrastructure sits one step removed — which makes this matter more, not less.

07Enjoy the journey

Shaping the future is rare work. Find the joy in it, and look out for each other.
