The majority of the world's stories never come to life. Most people don't have access or inroads to publishers or platforms—or they may have a gap in their skillset that's a barrier for them to be able to create.
Kaepernick says that the idea for Lumi came out of challenges he faced while building his media company, Ra Vision Media, and his publishing company, Kaepernick Publishing, which included long production timelines, high costs, and creators not having ownership over the work they create.
Lumi aims to help independent creators forge hybrid written-illustrated stories, like comics, graphic novels, and manga. The platform is built on top of foundational models, Kaepernick says—although he declined to say which ones.
