Josh Cohen

Managing Partner, City Light Capital

About

Josh Cohen deliberately chose impact investing over following his Wall Street executive father's path, positioning City Light Capital as a vehicle to make a difference through capitalism while arguing that competitive venture returns and solving social problems aren't mutually exclusive. Beyond running his fund, he actively builds the impact investing ecosystem through board roles like Impact Capital Managers, writes guidance for wealth advisors on integrating next-generation values into portfolios, and speaks publicly to help translate impact investing concepts for traditional finance audiences.
