Alacrity spinout firm in equity fundraise boost
Western Mail
|April 11, 2025
A NEWPORT tech start-up that has developed a case management system for use by child social care providers has been boosted with a six-figure equity investment.
The pre-seed round for Lumin Solutions, which successfully spun out of the Alacrity Foundation entre preneurship programme, was led by SFC Capital, the Development Bank of Wales and a syndicate of business angels.
The company is run by directors Piers Oliphant, 25, Ben Miller, 24, and Ben Gretton, 23. They teamed up at the Alacrity Foundation.
Lumin’s innovative software product is an outcome-focused recording and planning system for care providers, many of whom are still predominately paper-based. It offers a digital care assistant that improves user experience and outcomes, reduces costs and improves regulatory compliance with evidence tracking.
Key features include care plans, assessments and regular reporting. Al-powered analytics will enable users to analyse data and records with speed and customisation, offering insights into their organisation and care practices to improve outcomes and prepare for inspections.
