Launch Pad’s role in New Orleans recovery
- August 31st, 2010 /
On this 5th anniversary of Katrina, there has been much reflection about New Orleans. We have made many strides as a city, yet there remains much work to be done. The city is broad and diverse and I wouldn’t for a minute pretend to know the challenges that so many have faced over the last five years.
One bright spot has been the emergent entrepreneurial community in New Orleans. I been a New Orleanian equal parts pre & post storm now, and it amazes me how different the business climate is today. There is a collaborative, bootstrapping, can-do spirit driving us and the last few years have been the most inspirational of my business career. There is something truly special going on in New Orleans right now, and I am humbled that the people of Launch Pad, our community, is playing such an vital role in this resurgence.
There has been plenty of coverage this week about what is going on in New Orleans, and I wanted to share some of it with you here. Thanks to everyone in New Orleans for being here and to everyone else for your love and support!
