Larta Institute

Larta (www.larta.org) was founded in 1993 amidst California's economic turmoil with the mission of growing technology-based entrepreneurial ventures in Los Angeles. They assisted 30 entrepreneurs after opening their doors that year. Fast-forward 20 years: they have now assisted over 3,500 entrepreneurs across the world transform their brightest ideas into commercially successful enterprises that positively impact humankind. Larta's impact is global, with industry connections & knowledge assets in 47 countries and 27 international partnerships inked since 1997. Over the past 20 years, they have transformed ideas, small and large, into solutions that feed, fuel and heal the world. Their new tagline, "Ideas, energized." succinctly captures that mission.
