Mission Statement
In 2000, The Idea Village was formed by a group of New Orleans citizens who believed entrepreneurship is a catalyst for positive change. We formalized in 2002 as an independent 501(c)3 nonprofit with a mission to identify, support and retain entrepreneurial talent by providing direct service to high impact entrepreneurs, educating the broader community, and supporting initiatives that strengthen our entrepreneurial infrastructure. From 2009-2014, The Idea Village provided direct support to over 3,411 New Orleans entrepreneurs by engaging over 2,600 professionals to allocate 68,543 consulting hours and $2.5 million in seed capital. In addition, The Idea Village hosts New Orleans Entrepreneur Week, a business festival that has become the platform for the New Orleans entrepreneurial community. The International Economic Development Council gave us a Gold Excellence award in 2012 and we were recognized as a top-3 entrepreneurship ecosystem developer in 2014 by the Global Innovation Summit.
