Entrepreneurs help to revive The Big Easy. Four years after Hurricane Katrina flooded nearly 80% of New Orleans, the historic city is in the midst of a resurgence thanks, in no small part, to the growing number of entrepreneurs who have chosen to start their businesses in the Crescent City. As The Atlantic reports, in addition to the numerous opportunities created by ongoing reconstruction projects, New Orleans has also seen a boom in the number of entrepreneurial clusters taking root in the city. The Times-Picayune counted at least five significant “entrepreneurial hubs” that were recently established in New Orleans. Taking a page out of the Silicon Valley playbook, these entrepreneurial hubs bring innovators together to help foster collaboration and encourage the flow of ideas.
