Luminary Labs

We believe that the world is filled with great ideas. And yet innovation is not in the idea, or even the "thing.” It’s in the ability to adopt, operationalize, and iterate continuously with the end goal of responding to changing economic, technological, and cultural conditions. At Luminary Labs, we develop strategies and innovation systems for Fortune 500 and government leaders seeking to transform their companies and industries. In addition to our corporate strategy work, we are particularly well known for our open innovation challenge practice, which has been charged with awarding $3.5 million in non-dilutive capital to early stage companies on behalf of our clients. To support these programs, we have even built our own open innovation platform. We love helping organizations in big, messy industries adapt to new technological, economic, and social norms, which frequently includes introductions to early stage companies. Our clientele includes the FDA, U.S. Dept of Ed, HHS, AARP, and pharma, where we have the privilege of working with those leading the charge on innovation. We work smart, not long, balancing a high-performance environment with decent office hours, competitive compensation (salary, bonus, vacation), and a respectable family leave policy. Last, but not least, we always have good coffee and tea on hand.
