Lara Lee Hullinghorst
Founder & Chief Executive Officer
With over 30 years of experience spanning business and government, I've witnessed the profound evolution from the internet's inception to today's dynamic landscape.
I began my consultancy journey during the change-revolution era, assisting explosive-growth companies from angel-funded startups to multimillion-dollar investment firms. I organized pioneering events like the New York Comedy Film Festival and the New York Venture Capital Conference, while also speaking on esteemed panels at the Colorado Bioscience Association and the World Affairs Conference.
Post-9/11, I co-founded the New York Grant Company to help small to mid-sized businesses secure government grants, raising millions for numerous enterprises. Transitioning to DC-based government relations, I specialized in biotechnology and healthcare while staying rooted in small-to-midsized-business advocacy.
Today, I assist organizations in navigating federal and state governments, employing my project management skills for meticulous organization and strategic alignment. Drawing from diverse experience in political, creative, financial, and scientific sectors - coupled with the discipline of running marathons and other distance races - I am uniquely equipped to offer creative solutions to meet concrete objectives.
In essence, I offer a seasoned perspective at the intersection of business and government, ready to leverage my expertise for your success in our ever-evolving political landscape.
