Opportunities to allocate capital directly are more prevalent now than ever, and family offices are at the center of this growing trend. In utilizing the FINTRX family office data and research platform, which provides intel into thousands of direct deal transactions made by 3,090+ family offices worldwide, we explore three family offices directly investing in fintech companies.
1. Temerity Capital Partners (Sandler Family Office)
Founded in 2015, Temerity Capital Partners (Sandler Family Office) is a Washington, DC-based single-family office managing the assets of Andy Sandler and his family. Sandler is the founder and Chairman of Treliant, a financial services management consulting firm. Sandler is also the founder and CEO of Asurity Technologies, a software firm that provides automated compliance management solutions.
Today, Temerity Capital invests across several asset classes, including public equity, hedge funds, private equity, venture capital, and direct real estate transactions. The firm also invests in emerging companies and esoteric markets. Sectors and industries of interest include technology, FinTech, RegTech, biotechnology, transportation, healthcare, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and energy. Temerity allocates to third-party funds in sectors outside of their expertise. The firm is agnostic to fund size but avoids funds that operate in crowded capital environments.
Temerity's venture capital strategy focuses on early-stage companies operating in the financial services space, with a focus on FinTech and RegTech. In June 2015, Temerity Capital Partners directly invested in Sipree, Inc., a San Francisco-based fintech company offering focused on radically improving the speed, security, and convenience of payments to customers and vendors.

In June 2017, Temerity Capital directly invested in Rabbet, a construction finance platform that intelligently parses through documents and connects information for reduced administrative burden and faster funding.

Temerity made a follow-on investment in this company in November 2019. In October 2020, Temerity Capital directly invested in Reserve Trust, a Denver, Colorado-based fintech trust company providing payment services that financial institutions have previously only been able to obtain from correspondent and sponsor banks.
