Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJosh Borts is an investor and entrepreneur with 12+ years of multidisciplinary experience spanning finance, product, software, and algorithmic trading. He helped scale Lighthouse Labs from founding to $30M in revenue by combining CFO rigor with hands-on product and engineering leadership, launching an AI tutor and the company’s largest cybersecurity offering. Comfortable leading 100+ headcount organizations, he prefers detailed planning and product evolution over greenfield risk—yet remains hands-on solving technical optimization challenges. His background in high-frequency trading and computer engineering informs a data-driven, risk-aware approach to decision making, especially in low-information environments. Based in Canada, he focuses on how technology reshapes work, education, and economic systems and invests in ventures that steer that change toward broader opportunity. An unspoken strength is his knack for translating tight financial controls into scalable product investments that preserve agility while enabling growth.
