The Lux portfolio includes category-leaders such as Anduril, Runway, Eikon Therapeutics, Hugging Face, and Databricks. Today the firm has more than 30 full-time professionals with a wide spectrum of technical backgrounds and over 200+ portfolio companies.

The Lux team sought a solution that would help offer a user friendly, customizable and interoperable solution for their front, middle, and back office teams.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Standard Metrics to streamline our portfolio monitoring process,” said Segolene Scarborough, Chief Financial Officer at Lux Capital. “After extensive platform demos, what stood out was their remarkable flexibility and robust feature set. Their hands-on customer support, combined with the platform’s ability to automate data collection, will significantly reduce the administrative burden on our portfolio companies while enhancing our internal monitoring capabilities.”

With the Standard Metrics platform, Lux Capital’s portfolio companies will be able to save time by replacing their current manual reporting process while offering new benchmarking insights and a source of truth when it comes to company performance.

Once implemented, the Lux Capital team will leverage Standard Metrics as their source of truth for KPIs and investment data, and to streamline their audit, LP reporting, and portfolio reviews.

“The optimism and technology-forward approach that Lux Capital brings to its investments is inspiring” said John Melas-Kyriazi, co-founder and CEO of Standard Metrics. “We’re honored to support Lux and their portfolio companies as they push the envelope of what’s possible and work to create a better future for all of us.”
