GNO After Dark
GNO After Dark is a relaxed forum for expert discussions of compelling topics.
The event will feature a panel discussion called New Orleans: Corridor To The Future with Kelli Saulny and Kwamena Aidoo, managing partners at Corridor Ventures, and Kim Boyle from Phelps Dunbar for a candid look at investing in the region.
Corridor Ventures is a New Orleans-based venture capital firm founded in 2022, backing founders from pre-seed through Series A across the Southeast, with a focus on health outcomes, the future of work, and climate innovation, and on entrepreneurs who often get passed over by coastal investors.
The conversation will explore why Corridor built its thesis around the South and chose to anchor in New Orleans, the industry trends and blind spots they see across the Southeast, and why they embrace a futurist approach to investing. This is a chance to why venture capital is vital to the American South, and the role New Orleans plays in the region's rapid growth.
