Trace Cohen — 3x founder, 65+ investments. Serving the full Palm Beach County corridor from Jupiter to Boca Raton: startup advisory, fundraising, web development, and AI.
Palm Beach County has one of the highest concentrations of HNW individuals and family offices in the US — which means capital is here. What's been missing is a deep tech and startup operating ecosystem to match. That's changing. FAU Tech Runway, New World Angels, and BRiC are producing more funded companies each year. And founders from New York, Boston, and Chicago are relocating to the county in increasing numbers, attracted by zero state income tax and a lower cost of operating than South Beach.
I'm a startup consultant based in Boca Raton serving the full county — from Jupiter in the north to Deerfield Beach in the south.
