A Swedish-American inventor named on 30-plus patents, he previously founded Timesulin with his brother Andreas (a co-creator of Skype), sold it to Bigfoot Biomedical in 2017, then built the Bigfoot Unity connected dosing system that Abbott acquired in 2023. In August 2025 Luna raised a $23.6M Series A led by Vensana Capital.
