Joshua M. "Josh" Linkner (born July 28, 1970) is an American entrepreneur and author. He founded several companies including ePrize, an interactive promotion agency, where he was CEO and chairman.

Detroit Venture Partners' portfolio includes DJ app Rockbot, mobile app developer Detroit Labs, and CAPTCHA replacement company Are You a Human.
