Springtime has arrived in the City of Angels, and while locals stay busy strolling through botanical gardens and spending afternoons at their favorite outdoor cafés, one local company is embracing the season in its own way.
Cie, a venture studio that serves as an innovation lab and accelerator for entrepreneurs, has been busy helping businesses get off the ground. And as the company continues to pursue its mission to “tackle real-world problems, empower entrepreneurs and drive meaningful impact,” its employees have ample opportunities to drive innovation. Leveraging expertise in engineering, product development, brand building and other disciplines, team members spend their workdays finding solutions to challenges their clients’ face, supported by a culture in which “everyone has a seat at the table.”
As employees do their part to help businesses thrive, they’re also encouraged to take the time and resources they need to maintain a healthy work-life balance. With access to perks like generous PTO, mental health benefits and a continuing education stipend, team members are able to focus on both their personal lives and professional goals, which ultimately helps cultivate a more well-rounded culture.
It’s for these reasons and more that we named Cie our company to watch this spring. Read on to learn more about the opportunities the company offers local tech talent — and make sure to check out its open roles.
What Cie does: Cie serves as an innovation lab and accelerator, backed by a venture portfolio that includes brands like Cie Games, Nativo and Titan School Solutions.

‘Zero to One’: Last year, Cie leaders spoke with Built In to discuss how the company’s culture, which hinges on a “Zero to One” methodology, enables the organization to help businesses reach important milestones quickly with capital efficiency. Leveraging its own internal arsenal of entrepreneurial expertise, the company gives startups what they need to develop products and business models that will drive long-term success. “We build ideas into businesses: Our team develops the business strategy, go-to-market plan, optimizes product offerings and builds high-performing teams, so entrepreneurs can focus on what they do best,” Chief Operating Officer Alvin Fong explained.
