Antoine Argouges

Antoine Argouges co-founded Lumen in 2018, the first dating app designed specifically for people over 50. A product veteran with experience as Head of Revenue and product manager at Match.com, Badoo and Bumble, Argouges identified a significant underserved demographic in the dating market and raised £3.5 million from Andrey Andreev (Badoo founder) to launch the platform. Lumen's strict age-verification requirements and anti-catfishing measures distinguished it from general-market apps. Following the Lumen chapter, Argouges went on to co-found Tulipshare, a shareholder activism platform — demonstrating a pattern of building mission-driven consumer products.
