Joel Rosenman (born 1942), A.B. Princeton '63, J.D. Yale '66, is one of four people responsible for producing the Woodstock Festival in 1969. Rosenman developed the idea for the three-day concert after looking at a recording studio proposal brought forward by Michael Lang and Artie Kornfeld. Together with partner John Roberts, the four designed the event and dealt with the subsequent aftermath.

Formerly a professional musician, some of Rosenman's other business ventures include the highly successful Media Sound recording studio in New York and the concert Woodstock '94. He and Roberts are the co-authors of Young Men with Unlimited Capital, a non-fictional account of their exploits as producers of Woodstock.

Roseman manages an investment fund, Source Financing Investors. The fund financed Democratic Party fundraiser Norman Hsu's company, Components Ltd., $40 million dollars; money which Roseman says went missing.^[1]
