Is Venture Capital a Force for Good? On a personal level, yes, I’ve met many thoughtful VCs. But on an INSTITUTIONAL level, ONE is actually changing the game! I recently sat down with Josh Cohen, Founder of City Light Capital in NYC. We first met Josh working on a CEO search for a portfolio company in the EdTech space. City Light Capital's investment thesis focuses on a concept called “Impact Investing,” which funds businesses that deliver strong financial returns while making a measurable social impact in marginalized communities and investment sectors. Check out my full conversation with Josh using the link in my first COMMENT below. Josh is not a traditional VC; he’s been an investment banker, a corporate operator, a family office investment adviser, and founder of a VC firm with 5 funds. 9/11 changed his life - and his life’s mission - forever. Contemplating the fragility of our time on this planet, he quickly came to the conclusion that there’s little room to wait. So he decided to take action NOW, in the present, and put his money where his heart is. If you’re a founder, or startup team member, whose company’s mission is to make a positive social impact in our world, you need an investment partner like Josh! #impactinvesting #venturecapital #executiverecruiting #startups
