Our Clients

“If you’re serious about making systemic change, The Starfish Institute is an incredible team. They have been amazing thought partners, bringing creative thinking and ideas grounded in both theory and first-hand experience. They have inspired us to think differently about how we catalyze change, especially how we can leverage voices from the frontlines to create meaningful data for informed decision making. You can count on the Starfish team to expand your thinking, approach challenges holistically, and enable you to make greater progress.”
