LARTA seeks to foster innovation and entrepreneurship focused on sustainable solutions for a resilient planet. Larta was founded in 1993, with funding by the State of California as a Los Angeles Regional Technology Alliance to stimulate the economic development of technology-based enterprises in Southern California. LARTA quickly became the national partner for numerous federal government agencies to commercialize novel research and innovation - including DARPA, NIH, DOE, NSF, NIST, NOAA, and USDA. Today, our innovation platform and ecosystem accelerate innovative solutions, from idea to sustainable enterprise - by providing a unique combination of connections, resources, and funding. We have helped over 5,000 startups, and our alumni have raised over $7 billion in funds.
