Renowned social activist and entrepreneur, Colin Kaepernick, has recently dived into the realm of tech with the launch of his innovative new company. The focus of the company is on fostering creativity and empowering individuals to challenge societal norms through the power of technology and artificial intelligence.
Since his departure from NFL in 2017, Kaepernick has been involved in a variety of business ventures and collaborations, including the skincare brand KINLÒ. He is well known for his community activism, particularly for his campaign, “Know Your Rights Camp”, which aims to educate young people on how to interact with law enforcement.
His latest initiative is a ground-breaking AI platform named Lumi. The main aim of Lumi is to address the issue of stories untold due to limited access, and provide a robust, inclusive, and empowering platform for diverse voices to share their unique narratives. Funded primarily by Alexis Ohanian’s Seven Seven Six, a venture capital firm, Lumi has already secured a $4 million investment.
Kaepernick’s new venture seeks to disrupt traditional storytelling norms and democratize the field by giving voice to those who have often been marginalized or unheard.

Consequently, promoting societal change by shedding light on overlooked narratives and fostering greater inclusivity and understanding.
Despite various challenges faced in the journey towards innovation, such as production times, rising costs, and creator control, Kaepernick shows unyielding perseverance. His commitment to making media more inclusive, transparent, and accessible remains unwavered, navigating the hurdles of the industry and setting precedents for others to follow.
According to Kaepernick, Lumi serves as a solution to these challenges, aiding creators in crafting, publishing, distributing, and marketing their literature and merchandise. Lumi also enables creators to monetize their work while providing an accessible platform for showcasing their talents, therefore bridging the gap between creativity and economy.
Through Lumi, Kaepernick envisions a creative community that thrives on diversity and progress. He believes that Lumi will empower creators to dictate their narratives and build their unique worlds, allowing audiences of different backgrounds to experience these stories. And, it will enrich the global cultural landscape by offering a platform that is as considerate to its consumers as it is to its creators.
