Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

Q1Why was the last public investment in 2022?

Starting in 2022, Lua Ventures transitioned to a model of anonymous rounds with mandatory NDAs. This strategy allows us to:

  • Protect the strategic interests of portfolio companies in the early stages
  • Avoid speculation in the early stages of project development
  • Ensure confidentiality for institutional LPs (Limited Partners)
  • Focus on long-term value rather than short-term hype
Note: You may find that the fund's status is marked as "Inactive" on various public data resources, which is precisely due to the transition to closed rounds.
Q2Why does PitchBook show "Inactive" status?

This is a technical feature of reporting:

  • PitchBook and Crunchbase only track publicly announced rounds
  • Since 2022, Lua Ventures has been operating through closed structures without public disclosures
  • Actual activity is confirmed through portfolio companies and LP reporting

But even so, our public investments for the six rounds of 2021–2022 amount to more than $23.7 million. And private investments have already accumulated to more than $152 million.
