LumiDB joins the Esri Startup Program
LumiDB is now part of Esri's Startup Program, formalizing our ArcGIS partnership. Here's what it means, plus a walkthrough of point cloud data streaming live from LumiDB into ArcGIS Pro for LOD2 building extraction

LumiDB has been accepted into Esri's Startup Program, which formalizes our ArcGIS partnership. Come see us at Esri UC 2026 in San Diego.
The program supports early-stage companies building on ArcGIS, and acceptance required a working, in-production integration. For LumiDB, that's the I3S streaming connector: ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online pull point cloud data directly from LumiDB, with no file exports or format conversions in between. Our ArcGIS integration post covers how it works.
Membership gives us earlier visibility into ArcGIS changes and a direct line to Esri's engineering teams, so the integration keeps pace as ArcGIS evolves. The same relationship helps the two-way flow we're building next, where edits and classifications made in ArcGIS propagate back into LumiDB.
You can find LumiDB in the Esri Partner Directory.
One workflow, end to end
Rather than describe the integration, here's a short walkthrough on real data. We start in LumiDB with a full point cloud, crop to the area we care about, filter down to the ground and building points, and generate a streaming link. In ArcGIS Pro, that link comes in as an I3S layer, the data streams straight from LumiDB, with nothing exported or downloaded. From there it's standard ArcGIS: extract a LAS dataset, then run Extract LOD2 Buildings to generate 3D building models. Work that used to start with a manual export and a cleanup pass now begins with a live layer.
See us at the Esri User Conference
We’ll be exhibiting at the Esri User Conference on July 13–17 in San Diego, in the Startup Zone within the Partner Experience Center. If you work with point cloud data and want to see LumiDB running against ArcGIS on your own datasets, come find us there, or book a meeting with our team.
If you can't make it to San Diego, book a demo and we will walk you through it remotely.
