December 2

1. What is Luna’s timeline for product development and scaling?

  • Short-Term (0–12 Months):
    • Focus: Launch in the Netherlands and test market readiness with core offerings (Luna Voice, Luna Lite, and Luna Business).
    • Key Actions: Establish local partnerships (e.g., banks, advocacy groups) and build user trust via freemium plans.
    • Milestone: Gather feedback to refine the product and confirm scalability.
  • Medium-Term (1–3 Years):
    • Focus: Expand throughout the EU by leveraging GDPR as a consistent regulatory framework.
    • Key Actions: Introduce region-specific scam prevention modules and premium features for tech-savvy users (Luna Pro) and travelers (Luna Travel).
    • Milestone: Develop advanced analytics and reporting modules, and achieve substantial subscription-based revenue.
  • Long-Term (3–5 Years):
    • Focus: Scale globally, prioritizing high-risk markets in North America, Asia, and other regions.
    • Key Actions: Integrate Luna with broader cybersecurity tools (e.g., VPNs, password managers) and introduce enterprise-focused solutions like Luna Insights and Luna eSIM.
    • Milestone: Achieve enterprise adoption and build a comprehensive ecosystem of fraud prevention tools.

2. Are there regulatory or market-entry challenges in specific regions (e.g., non-EU countries)?

  • EU (Short-Term):
    • Relatively straightforward due to GDPR harmonization across member states.
    • Challenge: Adapting to varying local languages and scam patterns within the EU.
  • North America (Medium to Long-Term):
    • Challenge: Navigating fragmented regulations (e.g., state-level privacy laws in the US, like CCPA in California).
    • Opportunity: A large consumer base and high demand for scam prevention solutions.
  • Asia-Pacific (Long-Term):
    • Challenge: Regulatory complexity, such as China’s cybersecurity laws or India’s data localization requirements.
    • Opportunity: Rapid digital adoption in countries like India and Southeast Asia creates significant demand.
  • Other Regions (Long-Term):
    • Developing markets may lack robust digital fraud awareness, requiring extensive education and localization efforts.
    • Certain regions might prefer local solutions, necessitating partnerships with native firms.

3. Do you envision partnerships or acquisitions to accelerate growth?

Yes, partnerships and acquisitions will be crucial for Luna’s growth at each stage:

  • Short-Term (0–12 Months):
    • Local Partnerships: Collaborate with banks, senior advocacy groups, and regional fraud prevention organizations to build trust and credibility.
    • Example: Partnering with local governments or regulatory bodies to align with national scam prevention initiatives.
  • Medium-Term (1–3 Years):
    • Regional Expansion Partners: Work with EU-based fintech companies and regulatory compliance consultancies to ensure seamless scaling.
    • Technology Integrations: Partner with cybersecurity providers to enhance Luna’s features (e.g., API integrations with password managers).
  • Long-Term (3–5 Years):
    • Global Tech Alliances: Collaborate with international tech giants (e.g., Microsoft, Google) for enterprise-grade integrations.
    • Strategic Acquisitions: Acquire smaller firms specializing in emerging scam trends, AI fraud detection, or regional compliance.
