About
Lagniappe Angels is a member-managed, committed capital angel investment group established in 2015 and based in New Orleans, Louisiana. The organization pools capital and expertise from its members to identify, invest in, and support early-stage and growth-oriented companies, with a geographic focus on the Gulf Coast and Gulf South regions. Operating as a true angel syndicate rather than a traditional fund, Lagniappe Angels distinguishes itself through active member participation in the investment process, allowing individual investors to shape deal selection and provide hands-on support to portfolio companies. The group has demonstrated investment activity in Series B stage companies, with reported average round sizes of approximately $1 million. The portfolio spans multiple sectors including high tech and life sciences, with documented investments in companies such as MicroBiome Therapeutics. Members benefit from pooled due diligence, shared deal flow, and the ability to leverage the collective expertise of the investor network, while founders gain access to experienced angel capital with deep roots in the regional business ecosystem. With approximately 15 members and an estimated $1 million in annual revenue based on recent data, Lagniappe Angels represents a focused, operationally lean investment vehicle that prioritizes hands-on capital and strategic support over passive fund management. The organization maintains an open investment approach while maintaining disciplined underwriting standards appropriate to early-stage venture investing in the Gulf South region.
