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.

Sectors and industries of interest include technology, FinTech, RegTech, biotechnology, transportation, healthcare, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and energy.

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.
