Mission-Driven Founder Left a $300M Hedge Fund

from The Authority Business Show · host Stacey Chillemi

Mission-driven founders don't usually come from hedge funds — but the ones who do tend to build differently. Most entrepreneurs chase a market. Scot Cohen walked away from co-founding a $300M New York hedge fund because he saw a broken system and had the capital markets expertise to fix it. He founded Wrap Technologies (NASDAQ: WRAP), led $90M in financing, and built a non-lethal public safety device deployed across 1,000+ agencies in 60 countries. After this, you'll rethink what it means to build a business with staying power. ────────────────────────────────────────── CONNECT WITH SCOT COHEN & WRAP TECHNOLOGIES: 🌐 Website: https://www.wrap.com 📸 Instagram: @wraptechinc 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scot-cohen-643181375/ 🐦 X / Twitter: @wraptechinc 📘 Facebook: @wraptechinc ────────────────────────────────────────── Learn more about your ad choices.
