Making Professional Reputation
Measurable, Portable and
Economically Valuable.
The trust layer for the future of work.
Professionals spend years earning trust from clients, colleagues, managers and leaders. When they change jobs, get retrenched, or go independent, most of that trust does not travel with them — they're reduced back to a CV, a LinkedIn profile, and a few private references.
Your CV shows where you worked.
LinkedIn shows your career history.
Neither shows what people genuinely think about working with you.
Professional reputation exists. The infrastructure to carry it forward does not.
Lumoguide turns private trust into portable professional reputation.
Professionals are trusted by clients, respected by colleagues, recommended by leaders. Valuable — but fragmented and invisible.
Verified recognition. Would Choose Again. Reputation Score. Confidence Level. Relationship context.
Turns trust into structured, verified signals.
Measurable. Shareable. Comparable. Persistent across careers.
A professional asset that travels with you.
Early behaviour is validating the trust graph.
These are not scale metrics. They are early proof that professionals will create profiles and collect verified recognition without paid acquisition.
Singapore and India are our focus markets. Thailand and Malaysia are early signals of cross-border interest we're watching, not active expansion yet. All growth organic — no paid acquisition.
Every salary platform tells you what your role earns. None tells you what your reputation is worth.
Lumoguide is building the first dataset that links peer-verified professional reputation to compensation outcomes. The hypothesis: professionals with stronger reputation signals earn more, attract better opportunities, and build more durable careers.
No competitor can reproduce this analysis without both the reputation data and the compensation data. Lumoguide is building both simultaneously. Every recognition strengthens the data moat.
The Professional Trust Index
Everything on this page — the profiles, the recognitions, the country momentum — is a step toward something larger. This is not a current product. It's the long-term destination. Successful platforms create products. Enduring companies create standards. Our ambition is for the Professional Trust Index to become the recognised benchmark for professional trust, the way markets reference the S&P 500 or CPI — eventually answering one question: how healthy is professional trust in this market?
To be clear: this describes the market, not any one person. It's a health check on professional trust across a country or profession as a whole — not a scorecard any individual is measured against. Your own Reputation Score already exists for that, and it isn't going anywhere.

Lumoguide started from a simple frustration. People spend years earning trust — but when they move jobs, get retrenched, or start again, that trust often disappears into old workplaces and private conversations.
I believe professional reputation should be something people can carry, prove, and eventually understand economically. We're early, and the thesis isn't fully proven yet. But the behaviour has started — professionals are creating profiles, inviting recognition, and helping us build the first layer of the professional trust graph.
This is what we're now focused on proving with discipline.
If this resonates, we would like to hear from you.
We are building the trust layer for the future of work — and we are looking for investors who believe that professional reputation is an underdeveloped asset worth measuring.
