From new founders to fast-moving startups, Larta can help to transform your vision into a sustainable enterprise.
Each year, America’s Seed Fund awards over $4 billion of equity-free funding to American small businesses through federal agencies.
Through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs, America’s Seed Fund provides non-dilutive funding to develop your technology and chart a path toward commercialization.
Larta Institute has partnered with leading federal agencies—including NIH, NSF, USDA, DOE, NOAA, NIST, NASA, and DOD—to translate publicly funded research into deployable solutions across health, sustainability, advanced materials, and climate resilience.
Through our Technical & Business Assistance (TABA) and Commercialization Assistance programs, we support innovators navigating regulatory pathways, market entry, and capital readiness—ensuring that federally funded discoveries move beyond the laboratory and into practical application.
With over three decades of experience in delivering commercialization assistance to government-backed ventures, Larta is now expanding our impact to empower community-focused entrepreneurs and solutions.
Our Community Labs are collaborative impact hubs designed to accelerate innovation, strengthen resilience, and advance equitable solutions to complex societal challenges.
The Heal.LA Bioscience & Healthcare Accelerator provides an eight to twelve month experience, which identifies, nurtures, and scales innovative approaches to improve community health and wellness. The program is designed to foster resilience in response to healthcare crises, serving communities impacted by lack of access to promising innovations.
The Venture Fellows program is an eight-month, immersive experience that supports innovators to pilot and scale solutions that enhance community resilience and adaptability to weather disasters and environmental-related conditions at no-cost.
Since 1997, Larta’s Global Bridge™ program has helped governments, institutions, and entrepreneurs translate local breakthroughs into internationally deployable solutions.
Rather than operating as a traditional accelerator, Global Bridge™ builds long-term commercialization pathways that allow innovation to move across borders with speed and purpose.
Today, Global Bridge™ serves as a two-way conduit: supporting international ventures entering U.S. markets while connecting U.S.
innovators to global partners, testbeds, and investment networks.
“The Larta program provides structure and guidance to new entrepreneurs transitioning from academic, grant-funded science to investment and revenue driven business. Networking and mentorship with experienced leaders helps to apply best practices and avoid common pitfalls.”
