May 1, 2025 – In an era defined by digital disruption and decentralized opportunity, three entrepreneurs are reshaping the way innovation happens in the American South. Randy Treadwell, Marjorie Munro, and Michael Munro — the leadership team behind Quantum Projects Group (QPG) — are building a bold, bi-regional platform that’s turning Lafayette, Louisiana, and Jacksonville, Florida, into unexpected launchpads for tomorrow’s tech.
Headquartered in Lafayette but with operations deeply rooted in North Florida, Quantum Projects Group is not your typical consulting or investment firm. It’s a venture engine, community incubator, and strategic bridge all rolled into one — focused on accelerating technology ventures that sit at the intersection of culture, capital, and community.
“We’re not chasing trends — we’re engineering ecosystems,” said Marjorie Munro, CEO of QPG. “Our goal is to create lasting value, not just flashy exits. That starts by investing in the right founders and the right ideas, especially in places that have historically been overlooked by big tech.”
Randy Treadwell, based in Jacksonville, brings a grassroots energy to the group. Known for championing high-impact ideas in underserved communities, Treadwell has helped foster startups in Web3, financial education, and immersive learning. His recent efforts include working with local schools to integrate virtual reality into classrooms and building blockchain pathways for minority entrepreneurs.
“What we’re doing in Jacksonville isn’t just tech,” said Treadwell. “It’s transformation. We’re giving people tools to change their lives — and the ability to own the platforms of the future.”
Meanwhile, in Lafayette, Michael Munro leads QPG’s investment strategy and execution arm. With a background in early-stage finance and business infrastructure, he’s helping southern startups go from garage-stage to global. “There’s incredible talent here that’s often underestimated,” said Michael. “Our job is to give those founders the structure, support, and scalability they need to thrive.”
Together, the trio has launched a regional NFT art marketplace, consulted on AI-driven education platforms, and helped build a pipeline of tech talent across Louisiana and Florida. Their emphasis isn’t just on innovation — it’s on accessibility.
“Too often, the innovation economy happens in silos,” said Marjorie. “We’re breaking that model. We want a system where Lafayette talks to Jacksonville, where a founder in the Bayou can pitch a venture capitalist in Florida, and where the next great tech story doesn’t have to come from Silicon Valley.”
With Quantum Projects Group, the Munros and Treadwell are proving that innovation doesn’t require skyscrapers or billion-dollar exits to matter. What it needs is community, commitment, and a willingness to bet on bold ideas — no matter where they start.
“Tech is moving fast,” said Michael. “We’re just making sure the South is moving with it.”
