Session
Since the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, AI-related investment has been largely at the infrastructure layer, with ‘hyperscaler' spending already well reflected in public market valuations. March Capital, an early growth investor based in Santa Monica, believes the next wave of value creation will emerge at the application layer—just as it did in prior technology cycles such as mobile and cloud. Today, this opportunity is almost entirely confined to the private markets. Jamie Montgomery, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at March Capital, will share his perspective on why families should consider strategic exposure to what may be a once-in-a-generation wealth creation event.
Jamie Montgomery is a Co-Founder and Managing Partner of March Capital. At March, Jamie focuses on identifying disruptive next-generation technology companies and providing capital at a critical inflection point. He is responsible for leading investments, mentoring entrepreneurs, raising capital, communicating with investors, and building the organization and culture of the firm.
Jamie’s experience advising a generation of entrepreneurs and financing hundreds of leading technology companies over 25+ years as Founder and CEO of boutique investment bank, Montgomery & Co., provided not only a network but also a foundation for Jamie’s pivot to venture capital in 2014.
