Larta Institute is a nonprofit organization accelerating innovation & entrepreneurship.

Our mission is to foster science & technology innovation for a sustainable planet.

Our planet is experiencing significant global problems created by human behavior and policies affecting the environment, food, education, energy and healthcare systems. 

New science and technology plays a critical role in transforming how we sustainably feed, fuel and heal the world. 

LARTA was founded in 1993, 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 quickly became the national partner for numerous federal government agencies — including DARPA, NIH, DOE, NSF, NIST, NOAA and USDA — to commercialize novel research and innovation.

Today, our innovation platform and ecosystem accelerate new science and technology from idea to sustainable enterprise by providing a unique combination of connections, resources and funding. 

We have helped more than 4,500 startups, and our alumni have raised over $7 billion in funds. 

Together, let’s feed, fuel, and heal the world.
