Founder & Principal
Nate Lockett
Nate is the founder and principal of Think Insights and the founder of Think Mission, a multi-tenant nonprofit operating system he designed and built independently from the ground up.
Created to reduce administrative burden across fundraising, communications, programs, events, community engagement, and technical assistance, Think Mission has required Nate to work across the entire product lifecycle: translating operational problems into product strategy, designing user experiences, architecting data and security models, developing frontend and backend systems, integrating AI and automation, and managing testing, deployment, and continuous improvement.
That breadth allows him to connect business judgment with hands-on technical execution—seeing both what should be built and how to make it work in practice. Before growing Think Insights into a product and technology studio, Nate designed automation and decision-support systems at Best Buy and Wells Fargo. Today, he brings that combined experience to founders, experts, nonprofits, and growing organizations building useful products and stronger operating systems.
