Economic Culture Lab acts as the connective tissue and infrastructure for public servants — through organizing, cross-sector capital, and program implementation — to create bold, harmonized programs fit for the New Economy.

Power Building

We organize public servants to be expansive when it’s challenging.

Public servants are overwhelmed with work — their departments are often understaffed and under-resourced. We help those who want to do things differently, by organizing them and facilitating action with peers.

We are experts in connecting voices, ideas and actions — in economic development, civic data & technology.

Implementation

We make economic theories, concepts and advocacy tangible.

While community-based organizations provide indispensable direct services and policy advocacy, we focus on the complementary and catalytic work of organizing local government and implementing future-fit programs.

We are experts in co-designing and co-managing economic programs at scale.

Financial Integration

We integrate capital from across sectors to enhance possibilities.

We reach audiences who aren’t always in conversation with each other, and integrate their investments for economic programs that are otherwise deemed too risky to invest in alone.

We are experts in designing integrated capital systems.
