Fuel your next round with public-private capital.

The Louisiana Growth Fund is the direct investment arm of the state’s SSBCI program, Louisiana Opportunity Capital, offering equity investments of $250,000 to $1 million in high-growth, scalable startups based in Louisiana.

We match private capital on a 1:1 basis—helping founders close rounds faster and go further. But you must bring the match.

What We Look For

  • Louisiana-based C-Corporations (or ready to convert)
  • Scalable business models generating revenue
  • Seed to Series A stage companies
  • Industry agnostic (excluding lifestyle businesses)
  • Committed private match funding (from VCs, angels, family offices, etc.)

How It Works

For every $1 you raise privately, we can match it with $1 in non-dilutive capital under the same terms—provided your match meets eligibility guidelines and is secured within 90 days of investment close.

We do not accept SAFEs. All investments are structured as Convertible Notes or Priced Equity.

Diligence Timeline

Expect a 4–6 week diligence process. Once approved and paperwork is complete, capital can be deployed in as little as one week.

Who’s Behind the Fund?

Yellow Ventures is our contracted fund manager, responsible for diligence, deal terms, and investment decisions, and disbursement of investment proceeds.
