August 10, 2026 – Louisiana’s wave of multibillion-dollar mega-projects is expected to bring thousands of jobs and new industries to the state. Venture capitalist John Roberts believes another impact could emerge: a new generation of Louisiana entrepreneurs.
“When I look at the giant projects landing in Louisiana right now, I do not just see construction cranes and payroll,” said Roberts, managing partner of Boot64 Ventures. “I see the founders they are going to create.”
