Luccid Update: €70K Deal w/ a Big Customer Signed & More!

Dear investor,

Marko here, CEO of Luccid. Big things are happening: We just locked in our first big-paying customer, another deal on the table—with a pipeline that’s ready to explode in 2025.

What did you get done this year?

German Customer #1: The Breakthrough Moment

Investors, it’s time to celebrate—one less reason to ignore us. This morning, we closed a deal with a major German building materials manufacturer.

€70K in total, with a one-time setup fee plus a subscription for 2025.

Check out the photo below: that’s him testing our tool. Watching him smile while chatting with his products? The absolute highlight of my day!

Wait, What’s Luccid Again?

In case you need a refresher, Luccid is an AI chatbot built to help building material manufacturers sell more. It guides their customers to the perfect product in seconds.

But we’re not just about chatbots. We also deliver real-time analytics to sales teams, so they can feel the market’s pulse, craft smarter offers, simplify catalogs, and turn messy technical docs into customer-friendly content.

Demo Day Wrap-Up: AI Campus Founders Batch #5

As the AI Campus Founders batch #5 wrapped up, we ended with a Demo Day. It wasn’t the wild 500-person party I imagined, but something even better happened—after pitching, corporations and investors lined up to talk business.

Now, we’ve secured meetings with industry heavyweights like Würth, Stihl, and several other big brands eager to test our solution. The momentum is real, and we set foot at the door.

Saudi Arabia Learnings

We just got back from the Cityscape Global Expo in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with 30+ hot leads. And now, we’re in a bit of a pickle—we need to deliver on everything we promised-read overpromised.

They are more than interested in trying our solution and are way more open to using AI than people here in an open-air museum called Europe.

Here’s what hit me like a brick:

  • Europe doesn’t matter here.

    • Example: Almost no one drives European cars. It’s all American and Asian brands—like 90%.

  • They don’t give a flying F about 100% recycled plastic bags and over-regulated bottle caps. They’re building fast, at scale, and with no brakes.

  • The money is next-level. Ongoing construction projects alone are worth a jaw-dropping $1.7 trillion.

Angel round mid-Q1 ‘25

Here’s my Christmas wish, Santa VC:

We’re preparing for an angel round in mid-Q1 ‘25. If you—or someone in your network—check these boxes, let’s talk. We’re looking to close quickly so we can double down on scaling.

What we’re looking for:

  • Strong ties to ConTech or building material manufacturing

  • Experience investing in AI startups and understanding how they scale

  • B2B SaaS expertise

Think you’re the right fit? Or know someone who is? Let’s make it happen.

Book a meeting with me here!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

I wish you a lot of success!
