Callais Capital Management

Callais Capital Management is an early-stage venture capital firm and investment manager based in Southern Louisiana primarily covering the South and Mississippi River Delta Region. The firm serves as a manager to a diverse asset strategy mix comprised of Venture Capital, Real Estate, and Private Credit. The Callais family has developed investment strategies, operational values, and experience over the last four generations. With our key business partners, we have built businesses along the Third Coast, remaining dedicated to, and invested in, the economic prosperity of our community. Callais Capital Management was originally founded as a family office to manage our family’s legacy investments and to ensure capital preservation and growth. With the burgeoning startup ecosystem along the Third Coast and Mississippi River Valley, we saw an opportunity to develop infrastructure and strategy around a dedicated venture capital effort, leveraging our legacy of entrepreneurship and deep roots in a market underserved by targeted institutional investors. Over the last five years, we have pursued regional startup investment opportunities and have evolved into a leading, Louisiana-based institutional venture capital platform. We draw from four generations of business insight, a distinguished network of professionals, and deep board experience across industries to source, scale, and strengthen our venture investments. We are tempered by the past and we are built for the future.
