Josh Cohen created CityLight Capital after 9/11 and was an early backer of transformative companies like 2U (NASD: TWOU) and Shotspotter (NASD: SSTI). Today, CityLight is pioneering the use of artificial intelligence to identify investments before innovative companies hit the radar screen of other investors. Leveraging the Machine allows CityLight to make about a seed stage investment almost every week with staggering results – of the 19 seed stage investments in their prior fund, 17 had further funding rounds and two have already exited. Listen to how the Machine is AI for good – identifying diverse entrepreneurs innovating outside of the New York/San Francisco bubble.
