Silicon Swamp

If you think "Silicon Valley" sounds cool but "Silicon Swamp"
doesn't, you're probably not from South Louisiana.


Here in South Louisiana we love the swamp, it's a part of who we
are. The reason "Silicon Swamp" might sound weird is that we are
less inclined to identify ourselves as the home of tech
innovation. Well, maybe it's time for an altitude adjustment!
There are  impressive start-up businesses here that maybe
you've never heard of but that are turning heads around the
country. And beyond.


Casey Roussel is Executive Vice President of Cloud Gavel, a
company that is revolutionizing the way law enforcement officers
do their jobs. More specifically, Cloud Gavel has created
software that streamlines the way officers obtain warrants in the
field by enabling them to complete the entire warrant process
electronically,  without ever having to leave the scene of a
crime. The electronic warrant system allows officers to write a
bulletin and send it to a judge at the push of a button. The
judge then receives an email notification alerting them that
there’s a warrant to review, which they can sign or revise and
send back all within a matter of minutes. Cloud Gavel is a law
enfocement revolution, and it started here in Louisiana. 


Dale Pfost is another revolutionary. Dale is CEO
of Microbiome Therapuetics, a biotech company that is
developing and marketing therapies that help keep you healthy by
interacting with the gastrointestinal microbiome. Growing
research suggests that a variety of conditions are impacted by
the health of your GI microbiome. BiomeBliss, the flagship
product of Dale’s company, is a berry flavored preobiotic blend
that is made into a drink or spread and is intended to be an
addition to your daily eating routine. You can think of
BiomeBliss as a way to make sure you have the proper amount of
fruits and vegetables in a day, with fewer calories.
