New Orleans is growing the next generation of startups

New Orleans

You’ve probably heard that Warren Buffett is called “The Oracle of Omaha.” But do you know about the Soothsayer of Silicon Valley?

His name is Jim Coulter, and he co-founded TPG in 1992. TPG now has more than $103 billion of assets under management, and their investments include Uber, Airbnb and scores of successful, high-growth ventures.

He is also someone with a passion for New Orleans. Jim has done far more than invest in New Orleans’s startups, though. He invested in our city itself.
