Founded by Pete Harris in 2000, Lighthouse Partners, Inc. has a mission to bring transformational technologies to market. Since its inception, our ‘North Star’ focus has been on those technologies – and the innovators that are developing them – that truly deliver a significant boost in performance, efficiency, and utility.

 

Engaging at the CxO level, Lighthouse works with clients to showcase their intellectual capital via compelling advocacy positions, insightful thought leadership, and engaging community and ecosystem programs. Lighthouse has worked with a diverse group of innovators, including global IT leaders, VC-backed growth startups, and skunk works stealth projects.

 

Early engagements for Lighthouse were centered on standards-based Web Services integration and low-latency transactions in the financial markets, as well as early financial sector crypto endeavors. Later, because of the rise of enterprise blockchain and nanoscale materials technology, supply chain track/trace and product authenticity became interest areas. More recently, privacy enhancing technologies to safeguard and monetize personal health information for AI applications, and tokenization of real world assets (including information) has become a key focus area.

 

In the early 2000s, Lighthouse created the ‘on Wall Street’ conferences series, with events covering Java, XML, Web Services and High Performance Computing technologies. Later, it ran a series of Blockchain Conference events, including special focuses on the FinTech and HealthTech markets.

​

In 2018, Lighthouse formed the award-winning Austin Blockchain Collective as a community to establish Austin, TX as a leading blockchain hub, growing it to 120+ corporate members.

 

Lighthouse is now collaborating with Massing PR, LLC to transform it into the DecentraTech Collective, a community of subject matter experts, company executives, entrepreneurs, and academics. It advocates for and innovates to accelerate the adoption of decentralization technologies (aka DecentraTech) to address business and scientific opportunities and challenges.

 

Lighthouse itself is exploring how DecentraTech can be applied to maintain data privacy across business processes, to remove friction in financial markets transactions, and to improve the accuracy and auditability of artificial intelligence (AI) models.
