January 13, 2026 —Three local investors have closed on a first round of fundraising for a new private equity fund they hope will provide backing to keep more Louisiana companies in the state.
The Louisiana Impact Fund, founded in 2025 by New Orleans investment bankers Joseph Seremet and Joshua Cummings and Lafayette-based tech executive Jared Quoyeser, has raised $23.4 million so far, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
