The problem determines the team
We do not begin with a menu of services. We begin with what you are trying to solve, then assemble the expertise the work actually requires.
Who we are
Three LA groups who kept ending up in the same conversation.
LA Think Tank is a curated community of people who are exceptionally good at what they do and curious enough to work beyond the boundaries of their own discipline. Los Angeles already holds the expertise—it just is not sitting at the same table often enough.

Our story
It didn’t start on a whiteboard.
It started with three organizations already doing this work separately — product engineering, funding and commercialization, go-to-market strategy — deciding they’d get further doing it together.
Between them: decades of building software, winning federal funding, launching companies, and untangling operations for organizations across Los Angeles. Different specialties, one shared bias toward getting things actually done.
Today LA Think Tank assembles that local expertise around meaningful business and civic problems. Every team is different because every problem is different—and the people doing the thinking stay involved in making the answer real.
What we believe
02
Ideas must become action
A strategy, product, system, decision, launch, new capability, or measurable progress—the work should create something tangible.
03
One table, many disciplines
Engineers, researchers, operators, strategists, designers, and storytellers challenge ideas together because making them better matters more than being right.
04
Los Angeles is part of the thesis
Few cities hold this breadth of science, technology, business, design, academia, entertainment, and civic experience. These worlds should meet more often.
