Paige Douglas+FollowLouisiana’s homegrown investors are making wavesSouth Louisiana’s own private equity firms are quietly reshaping the region’s economy, drawing national attention and big money from outside investors. Instead of just watching local companies get snapped up by out-of-state buyers, firms like Bernhard Capital, Black Bay Partners, and LongueVue Capital are raising billions, acquiring businesses, and building a real investment ecosystem right here. Their focused approach—especially in energy and industrial services—means more jobs, growth, and opportunities for local businesses. With national pension funds and endowments now investing in Baton Rouge and New Orleans, could this be the start of a new era for our local economy? What changes do you hope to see as this trend grows? #Business #LouisianaBusiness #PrivateEquity00Share
