ABOUT THE FOUNDERS

We are Lukas, Stefan & Sean, the co-founders of Mercura. We share a deep commitment to excellence and the discipline to pursue ambitious goals. Two of us come from non-academic families, and we all know what it means to create our own paths and overcome barriers. This experience shapes our belief in equal opportunity and fuels our dedication to social mobility.

At Mercura, we believe that the best ideas emerge when people from different backgrounds come together. That's why we hire based on ability, mindset, and values. Everyone is treated as an equal, and we live by the principle that the best idea wins.

We actively support initiatives that promote diversity and gender equity. Each year, we also commit a portion of our personal income to organizations working to expand opportunity for others.
