Why is there a lack of venture capital in Louisiana? • Tradition • Venture Capital in Louisiana historically focused on late-stage investments • Similar to Boston in the 1980’s • Leadership Needed: - Harvard in Boston in 1988 with Medical Science Partners - LSU/LED/TRSL in Louisiana in 2004 with Louisiana Fund I
Sources in Louisiana for Early Stage Companies - Entrepreneurs - Universities, Academic Medical Centers, Research Centers and Companies - $500-600M per year in Research & Development Spending—50-60% in Life Sciences
Louisiana Fund I: Overview • Louisiana needs a local early stage investment fund • Create home-grown companies located in Louisiana • Attract out-of-state companies to Louisiana • Investment in existing companies • Out-of-state investment funds will invest in Louisiana companies • LFI team experienced in working with early stage technologies and early stage companies
Benefits to Investors and Louisiana • Attractive financial return on investment for investors • Louisiana Fund I catalyst for creating new industries, companies and jobs across Louisiana • Assist local economic development efforts • Local companies based on locally developed technology will remain in Louisiana • Attract Louisiana natives back home • Out-of-state investors will invest in Louisiana companies • Favorable publicity for investors
