Distinct shells carrying a filed role for this person — not every shell they have ever touched.
SEC-verified vehicles of the same sponsor, predating these roles and carrying none of them. The badge counts them; the figure beside this one does not.
Mergers closed across all 5 — these vehicles and the franchise's earlier ones together.
Announced but not closed, and still hunting — again over all 5.
No closed vehicle here has both a stored price and a filed trust value to score it against.

Jonathan Z. Cohen is a seasoned executive, investor, and SPAC sponsor who currently serves as Co-Executive Chairman of the Board of Osprey Acquisition Corp. III (NASDAQ: OSPRU), a blank check company that priced a $261 million IPO on Nasdaq in July 2026. The SPAC's stated focus is identifying target companies involved in energy systems, AI-driven optimization, and global connectivity infrastructure. Cohen is also a co-managing member of Hepco Capital Management, LLC, the entity serving as managing member of Osprey Acquisition Sponsor III, LLC, which disclosed a 26.18% stake in Osprey Acquisition Corp. III. Hepco, a family investment firm that Cohen founded and leads as Chairman and CEO alongside co-managing member Edward E. Cohen, focuses on sponsoring and managing special purpose acquisition companies and related investments. At Osprey Acquisition Corp. III, Cohen's fellow leadership includes David Heikkinen as CEO, Daniel C. Herz as fellow Co-Executive Chairman, Edward E. Cohen as Vice-Chairman, Thomas C. Elliott as CFO, and Jeffrey F. Brotman as COO and Chief Legal Officer.
Cohen's career spans decades in asset management, energy, and financial services. He has served as Chief Executive Officer of Resource America, Inc. since 2004, as President since 2003, and as a Director since 2002. He has also held the roles of Chief Executive Officer, President, and Director at Resource Capital, a New York-based investment firm. Through these roles, Cohen has built a track record of managing publicly traded asset management and investment platforms, and he is noted as an active investor across sectors at the seed, early, growth, pre-seed, and Series A stages. His deep experience in capital markets and corporate governance has made him a recurring figure in the SPAC ecosystem.
Cohen's most notable SPAC track record includes his role as Co-Executive Chairman of Osprey Technology Acquisition Corp., which completed its business combination with BlackSky Technology Inc. in September 2021. The merger took BlackSky public on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker "BKSY," with gross proceeds totaling approximately $283 million, comprising roughly $103 million in cash held in Osprey's trust and a $180 million PIPE financing. At the time of closing, Cohen remarked on the Osprey team's excitement for BlackSky's strategic growth plan as a public company in the emerging space economy. He also previously served as a Director and Chief Executive Officer of Osprey Energy Acquisition, further underscoring his pattern of leading multiple SPAC vehicles across different sectors. Based in the Philadelphia and New York areas, Cohen continues to leverage his family office platform at Hepco Capital to sponsor and manage SPACs and related investment vehicles.
This record is keyed to SEC CIK 0001168756 — the identifier this person files under in their own name. Every vehicle above is a filing made under that CIK, so “the same person on two shells” is a fact about an SEC identifier rather than about a name that happens to match.
Roles are the strings the filings used, in the order they were filed. Nothing on this page ranks them, infers seniority, or offers a reason why any two of these names recur — a recurrence is a count, and the filings that produced it are linked beside every row. We also hold 12 institutional-holder rows on these vehicles, under 7 distinct name strings, and none of them is counted across vehicles: that table has no CIK column, and matching holders by name would merge firms that are not the same firm.
