Lukas earned a Master's degree in AI and Machine Learning from Technical University of Munich (TUM). He was one of the first employees at a startup acquired by Audi, where he served as technical lead for the myAudi app, tripling its user base and improving its star rating.

Lio raised $30M in Series A funding led by Andreessen Horowitz in March 2026, bringing total funding to $33M. The company's AI agents manage billions of dollars in enterprise spend for clients including Munich Re, Brose, and Novozymes.

Lio has achieved over 95% adoption rates among enterprise users and serves dozens of Fortune 500 companies. The platform transforms procurement processes from weeks to minutes, enabling teams to focus on strategy rather than manual workflows.
