Our Story
Since 2014, Lumine Group has been illuminating the potential of communications and media software companies—acquiring 30+ businesses we hold forever. Guided by leaders with 25+ years of industry experience, we invest in people and solutions to strengthen businesses and drive lasting growth.
Buy & Hold Forever
At Lumine, our buy-and-hold forever philosophy means once we acquire a business, it is never resold. We’re committed to building for the long term. For companies seeking a permanent home that respects decentralization, autonomy, and continued investment, Lumine could be the right fit.
Autonomy
At Lumine, we embrace a decentralized structure where each business operates independently. We empower our leaders, whose deep market knowledge guides the path to sustainable growth.
Continuity
Lumine provides a smooth transition for acquired businesses. It is our goal for customers, partners, and employees to experience little day-to-day change in operations, so businesses can continue to operate with stability and focus.
Carve-Outs and Divestitures
As a trusted acquirer, Lumine offers certainty of execution and peace of mind, with the assurance that divested assets will never be resold to a competitor. We have experience completing carve-outs across a range of sizes, corporate structures, and geographies, including 15 acquisitions from corporate sellers such as Nokia and Synchronoss.
Accelerate Growth
The Lumine Playbook equips businesses with 250+ proven best practices for driving performance and accelerating growth. With access to capital for both organic initiatives and M&A, plus leadership development and training, Lumine helps teams unlock new opportunities.
Unlock Collaboration
Through learning events, networking opportunities, and mentorship programs, we believe in fostering connections across our portfolio, enabling leaders to share expertise and industry insights. Within our decentralized model, each business retains control while benefiting from the collective knowledge of the group.
Our Mission
At Lumine Group, we believe in the long-term success of your business. We use best practices to empower teams with the knowledge and expertise to make the best decisions for their business.
We operate with an entrepreneurial spirit. We embrace critical thinking, innovation, and constant learning. Whether you are looking to continue your business journey or start a new chapter and ensure your business is in good hands, Lumine can get you there.
We learn from each other. In addition to Illuminate, a bi-annual event bringing together company leaders and up-and-comers, we also host departmental and company-wide knowledge-sharing events throughout the year. On a more regular basis, we encourage our team members to collaborate and learn from each other’s best practices.
The communications and media industry is evolving at an accelerating pace worldwide, which presents great opportunity. As optimists, we are always looking ahead. We value the learnings from our past, and believe they are critical to making the best decisions for our future.
