Our Company

I’m often asked why I named the company Cluster. While studying the American labor market after the sale of my first company I was fascinated by the innovation and economic growth driven by business clusters.

The term was popularized by Harvard scholar and professor Michael Porter in his book, The Competitive Advantage of Nations. A cluster is a geographic concentration of related companies, organizations, and institutions in a particular field that can be present in a region, state, or nation.

Regional economies grow and decline based on their ability to specialize in high-value industries and then evolve those specializations over time.

We based the company in Los Angeles in the heart of Southern California’s innovation cluster.

Vehicles are the most prominent cluster driven by aerospace and defense, along with automotive companies.

Our company was built to recognize the growing hardware market that spans many existing (and emerging) industries including: climate tech, electrification, aerospace and defense, consumer electronics, electric vehicles and more.

The Cluster marketplace matches American hardware companies to engineers for full-time roles.

We believe efficiently connecting people to the right jobs where they can thrive will be the defining challenge of this decade.
