Lighthouse Partners helps businesses navigate the challenges of adopting cutting-edge and transformational technologies to build a new data-centric economy, and works to shine a light on endeavors that show promise.

Lighthouse is led by Pete Harris, who leverages his 40+ years of experience as a strategist, mentor, advocate and storyteller, providing business acceleration, technology insight and market development services.

Since its formation in 2000, Lighthouse has worked extensively with companies and organizations in the financial markets, supply chain and healthcare sectors. For these companies, Lighthouse has helped to accelerate the adoption of a number of technologies, including:

* low-latency data transports and processing approaches for financial trading and risk management
* big data and time series management, analytics and AI modeling for financial investment strategies
* high performance, federated cloud and edge infrastructure to underpin access to secure, distributed data
* private and public blockchain and smart contracts platforms to implement trusted distributed ledgers
* decentralization technologies - decentratech - to enable web3 value and governance for businesses 

In 2018, Lighthouse formed the award-winning Austin Blockchain Collective. In 2021, it collaborated with Massing PR to spin out the Decentratech Collective from that organization. The DecentraTech Collective is an open community focusing on the adoption of decentralization technologies, including blockchain and Web 3.0 approaches, to address fundamental business challenges.

During the COVID-19 pandemic and the related shift to remote working, the company relocated its operational base to Williamstown, MA - close to the business centers of New York City, Boston, Chicago and Toronto. Incorporated in 1765. Williamstown is a renowned center of education, culture and innovative thinking.
