Jim McCoy

Jim McCoy is Managing Director, Venture Capital at Manhattan West, where he is part of the capital raising and investor relations team for the firm's venture capital offerings, connecting client partners to Manhattan West's private market opportunities.

Having founded and/or managed several investment firms over two decades, Mr. McCoy brings deep experience across the investment lifecycle to his work raising capital and building relationships on behalf of the firm's venture capital deals.

Mr. McCoy began his career at J.P. Morgan and worked closely with traditional and alternative investment firms, where he provided research and capital markets expertise. Following his tenure with J.P. Morgan, he co-founded an alternative investment firm and, as Chief Operating Officer, successfully guided the firm and its investors through the 2008 Financial Crisis. He then held senior-level positions with several investment firms, primarily focused on operations and business development, before serving as Manhattan West's own Chief Operating Officer — experience that gave him a firsthand understanding of the firm's platform and the investor relationships now central to his work on the capital raising team. His experience working with a variety of investors — including individual, family office, wealth management, and institutional investors — makes him a valuable contributor to capital raising across Manhattan West's venture capital deal flow.

Mr. McCoy graduated with a double major, holding a Bachelor of Arts in Business and a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature from the University of Washington, where he played football and enjoyed two Rose Bowl Championships and a Co-National Championship. He has visited and/or transacted business in over 20 countries. In his free time, he enjoys reading, teaching financial literacy through Operation Hope, and trail running.
