Lisa Gansky

Entrepreneur, author, instigator.

Lisa Gansky crafts, shapes and advises projects and teams that ask better questions—about trust, services, access, meaning, community, ownership, and the systems that shape our lives.

For decades, she’s worked to shape and guide technologies at the point where they intersect with human experience—launching ventures, frameworks, and conversations that helped define the early commercial internet and continue to resonate today. Her bestselling book The Mesh, along with its TED Talk, anticipated and provoked the rise of platform models and helped bring ideas like decentralization and access over ownership into the mainstream.

Today, she works alongside a tight-knit global circle of artists, thinkers, builders, storytellers, and co-conspirators at the edges of systems in transition, reimagining the civic, technological, and economic infrastructures we rely on toward futures that are distributed, regenerative, and deeply human.

Lisa welcomes purposeful collaborations grounded in trust and transformation. Reach out if you’re building something bold—or questioning something sacred.
