    Copado established its first local roots at The Shop, the coworking space at the Contemporary Arts Center, and began building its New Orleans team.

    Moved to 400 Poydras St

    As the team grew, Copado moved into its own space at 400 Poydras Street, in the heart of the Central Business District.

  3. The Future

    Rooted in the community

    A gathering place for the region's tech scene, bringing together local partners, educators, and industry leaders for meetups centered on mentorship, career growth, and new ideas.

“As we open our doors in the heart of New Orleans, we're not just setting up an office, we're planting a seed of progress. This city, rich in culture and resilience, is now poised to become a beacon of tech innovation.”
