Cohen Nagel

Cohen Nagel is the Partnerships Manager at Levr.ai, where he leads business loan broker growth and strategic partnerships across the United States and Canada. For most brokers, Cohen is the first person they meet at Levr, and he is often the reason they fund their first deal quickly. In one standout week, a broker found Levr, took a demo with Cohen, onboarded and funded their first business, all within 24 hours.

Cohen manages the whole broker journey. He runs onboarding and training sessions that get new brokers active fast, provides account management that ranges from high-touch support for premium teams to scalable support for solo brokers, and monitors deal pipelines so nothing stalls between a broker and a lender. He develops lender partnerships that expand Levr's network, manages account configurations and integration workflows, and builds the documentation and training that make broker success repeatable. He knows the products brokers place every day, from term loans and SBA loans to equipment financing and merchant cash advances.

Before Levr, Cohen spent more than four years at Polygon Homes, one of British Columbia's leading homebuilders. As a Market Analyst he used predictive analytics to anticipate shifts in buyer demand, produced competitor reports that shaped pricing and helped launch successful product campaigns. As a Development Coordinator he managed cross-functional consultants on townhouse and wood-frame developments valued at more than $100 million, built proformas and consultant budgets, reconciled invoices against them and worked with city staff to move approvals forward.

That mix of financial analysis and relationship management runs through his whole career. For more than a decade he also managed Darcy's Pub Downtown in Victoria, a high-volume restaurant and bar, where he led operations and sales strategies that consistently beat targets by 20%, built a loyal repeat-customer base, negotiated with suppliers and coached high-performing teams.

Cohen studied Real Estate Development at the UBC Sauder School of Business and holds a Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing from Camosun College. His skills span sales operations, account management and CRM.

Levr's leadership did not hide their excitement when he joined. Announcing his arrival, Levr's COO called him "an absolute stellar addition" and said that was exactly what he had been hearing from Levr's partners. Brokers from partner communities such as Secure Broker and Business Broker HQ now start their Levr journey with him.

Cohen spends his days with brokers. He hears which lenders move fast, which documents slow a file down and what a new broker needs to feel confident on a first call with a business owner, and he brings that straight back to the Levr team. Onboarding with him is practical and quick: set up the brand, add the lenders you already trust, upload a real client's documents and see the matches. That hands-on approach is why so many brokers fund their first deal soon after meeting him.

Brokers can book time with Cohen directly to set up their brand, add their own lenders and walk through their first deal, or read the guide to becoming a business loan broker. He is based in Vancouver, British Columbia.
