Inspiring Action. Connecting the Dots.
The Hungry Lab is committed to elevating the dialogue around our mission. Not only does our team speak around the world, we also nurture the young people, entrepreneurs and other clients to become thought leaders in their own right. By organizing our own events, as well as collaborating with our global partners, we strive to engage, educate and inspire a whole new generation of problem solvers.
Global Speaking
From TED events to UN conferences, from CEO forums to startup conferences, The Hungry Lab’s team and community are active in speaking, moderating and building dialogues to share our vision and expertise.

Startups to Save the World™
As our flagship roundtable series, The Hungry Lab’s Startups to Save the World Series showcases the next generation of problem solvers at the intersection of technology, sustainability and entrepreneurship.
Starting in August 2017 in our home base of LA/Orange County, we have since rolled out a diverse array of events with our partners and startups in cities around the world and can't wait to have you join the conversation!
Workshops & Seminars
The Hungry Lab organizes a variety of educational events for both our community members as well as the general public on critical topics for social entrepreneurs, including Founder Fundamentals™, Pitch Deck 101 and Finance for Founders™, among others.
In 2019, due to significant demand, we are rolling out additional workshop topics.
Startup Inclusivity Series
In partnership with WeWork, The Hungry Lab kicked off this ongoing series on International Women’s Day in March 2018. Featuring a diverse array of innovators, entrepreneurs and changemakers, this ongoing roundtable series focuses on important topics ranging from gender to age and other factors critical to cultivating a diverse startup ecosystem.
Partnerships & Advocacy
From presidents and cabinet ministers to leading academics, scientists, journalists, CEOs and entrepreneurs, The Hungry Lab works at all levels to advance our mission for impact.

Pop Culture Classroom

We believe that entertainment, coupled with education, is a fun and approachable way for students of all ages to absorb and retain knowledge. Some of our creative educational programs include:
Comedy & Climate Change
Standup with Startups
Pop-o-nomics - Pop Culture & Economics
