New Orleans: An entrepreneurial hub
Over the past 15 years, the Greater New Orleans region has transformed into a hub for entrepreneurial activity. Founders are drawn to the unique culture and supportive community, and investors get to take advantage of a cost of doing business that allows their capital to stretch farther than competing markets. The area is rich in diversity, allowing investors to back minority- and woman-owned companies at a higher rate than competing regions. In fact, metro New Orleans is #4 in the USA for Woman and African-Americans in tech and digital media.
