In ep. 29 "Built in Copenhagen: The Next Wave of Energytech Founders", Mikkel sat down with Christophe Lephilibert from FLEXECHARGE to discuss our founding story, the EV charging market, and the Danish start-up ecosystem, in an episode featuring two other energy start-ups from Copenhagen.

Our First Podcast Experience
We were invited into the virtual studio by FLEXECHARGE's marketing director, Christophe Lephilibert, for their EV charging podcast series, The Charge Point, marking our first ever appearance in a podcast.
We discussed the EV charging industry, Lumina, and our founding story, touching on the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Denmark and Copenhagen, as well as what it's like building a start-up in the intersection of two fast-moving industries, namely AI and EV.

What We Covered
In the podcast, we explored several key topics:
- Instead of starting with a "cool idea," we first talked to companies across Denmark to understand their actual pain points. That's how we discovered the opportunity in EV charging.
- Our software helps CPO operations teams work faster and smarter by embedding automation, AI, and machine learning into daily workflows. The goal? Cut resolution times, prevent recurring errors, and reveal hidden issues.
- Poor reliability directly hits CPO revenues (through lower utilization) and user trust (as drivers switch to better networks). We tackle both by predicting faults and improving availability.
- From KU's Lighthouse incubator to pilots with CPMS providers and CPOs, we are already testing our solution in the field and gearing up to move from pilot stage to go-to-market.
