Startups

The LSN team provides comprehensive government affairs and consulting services to a wide range of businesses, including innovative startups and technology companies in regulated industries. Whether disrupting an existing industry or building a new one, forward-looking startups are bound to face regulatory and political challenges that have the potential to stifle growth. In addition to providing political, regulatory, and procurement advice, LSN leverages its extensive relationships to help companies build meaningful networks, particularly with key elected officials and private sector leaders, and penetrate new markets. Our team has helped companies across several industries better navigate political landscapes, address regulatory hurdles, and build valuable relationships with decision-makers throughout the country.

Our team has experience working in over 200 cities across the country, and LSN maintains and leverages a large network of advocates across all 50 states. Additionally, we are actively involved in organizations such as the U.S. Conference of Mayors, the National Governors Association, the Democratic Governors Association, the Republican Governors Association, Democratic Municipal Officials, and the League of Cities, among others. LSN employs its expansive network to help companies find new opportunities and connect with relevant players in both the public and private sectors. We promote growth by strategically identifying synergies between a startup’s business and the needs and priorities of governments at the local, state, and federal levels. Simply put, we do the political work companies need to thrive.
