About
Amish Jani co-founded FirstMark as a New York-focused venture firm when NYC wasn't yet considered a major startup hub, and is credited with helping transform the city into a gravitational force for tech talent through both capital and ecosystem-building activities. He's known for his ownership-driven investment philosophy, focusing on concentrated, high-conviction positions in infrastructure-style platforms like Shopify (which he led through Series A to IPO), and unusually extends his expertise beyond institutional venture into mass-market education through his "Get Rich Slow" podcast that simplifies personal finance for broad audiences.
