We Back Passionate Entrepreneurs As They Turn Exciting Ideas Into Profitable Businesses.
Innovation Catalyst is a nonprofit venture development organization, formed by community leaders to strengthen and broaden Louisiana’s entrepreneurial ecosystem and to drive new high-growth, scalable company formation by providing Louisiana based, early-stage companies with capital, coaching and connections.
Our organization manages The Catalyst Fund, the Red Stick Angel Network, the Venture Capital Apprentice Program, the Baton Rouge Entrepreneurial Week’s (“BREW”) High-Stakes Pitch Competition and is the General Partner for the Greaux Innovation Ventures fund.
Through our funds and programs, Innovation Catalyst is seeking to create a “capital continuum,” by funding companies, and providing them with support, throughout their early to growth stages.
