Larta Institute is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization accelerating innovation and entrepreneurship. Our mission is to foster science and technology innovation for a sustainable planet.
The world faces major challenges in sectors like food, education, energy, and healthcare. New science and technology are key to transforming how we feed, fuel and heal the world.
LARTA was founded in 1993 and funded by the State of California as a Los Angeles Regional Technology Alliance to stimulate the economic development of technology-based enterprises. Now known as Larta Institute, the organization has become a national partner for numerous federal government agencies—including DARPA, NIH, DOE, NSF, NIST, NOAA and USDA—to commercialize novel research and innovation.
Today, Larta Institute’s innovation platform and ecosystem accelerate new science and technology from idea to sustainable enterprise by providing a unique combination of programs, our ecosystem and funding.
We have helped over 5,000 startups, and our alumni have raised more than $7 billion in external funding.
Together, let’s feed, fuel and heal the world.
