LA Think Tank
Local intelligence. Practical strategy. Stronger Los Angeles.
We’re a growing network of LA business owners, technologists, researchers, and civic leaders who already live and work here — pooling what we know so more of this city’s next chapter gets built from within.
Connect with usBuilt in LA. Focused on LA.
LA Think Tank is a table where local business owners, technologists, researchers, civic leaders, and service professionals sit down together. We’re from here — our partners built their careers in this city, not just their client rosters. We think LA’s next chapter should be shaped by the people already in the room.
What LA Think Tank does
Local expertise, pointed at real business and civic needs.
Our work centers on practical collaboration — helping companies, founders, institutions, and community partners identify opportunities, solve problems, and connect with the people who can help move ideas forward.
02
Commercialization & Funding Pathways

03
Technology, Operations & Civic Innovation
The systems, tools, and city-level partnerships that let a growing business — or a growing city — run better.
Founding Partners
LA Think Tank didn’t start as an idea on a whiteboard. It started with three organizations already doing this work separately, deciding they’d get further doing it together.

Why Now
This is our city. If you’re building something here — a business, a lab, a program, a policy — we’d like to hear about it.
