A massive problem.
An elegant solution.

The Problem

  • Current loyalty programs have 70% abandonment rates because they require apps, physical cards and complicated processes
  • Businesses spend millions on marketing without real customer data — only generic demographics
  • LATAM consumers have no tools to understand and optimize their daily spending
  • Electronic invoicing generates valuable data that is completely wasted today

The LÜM Solution

  • WhatsApp as distribution channel — zero friction, no downloads, no complicated registrations
  • Proprietary AI that extracts structured data from receipts in seconds, creating the richest consumer dataset in the region
  • Real, instant rewards that create a sustainable engagement loop
  • Verified consumer data for businesses — not surveys, but real behavior

Why LÜM wins
where others fail

WhatsApp Distribution = Defensible Moat

With 93% penetration in Panama and 450M users in LATAM, WhatsApp is the most powerful distribution channel in the region. Our competitors need to convince users to download an app — we use what they already have. This gives us a structurally lower customer acquisition cost (CAC) than any competitor.

Proprietary Dataset = Entry Barrier

Each processed receipt enriches our data model. Over time, LÜM will have the most granular and verified consumer dataset in LATAM — something that cannot be bought or quickly replicated. This data asset becomes more valuable with each user and each transaction.

Two-Sided Network Effect

More users → more data → better offers for users → more businesses want to join → more Lümis available → more users. This flywheel accelerates over time and creates a competitive advantage that compounds exponentially.
