Temerity Capital Partners
Temerity Capital Partners was established in 2015 by Andrew Sandler after he built Asurity Technologies and earlier legal and consulting businesses. The office operates from Washington, DC, and reflects the Sandler family’s multi-generational focus on long-term holdings rather than short-term exits. The firm commits capital to early-stage and growth equity in fintech, regtech, insurtech, proptech, and climate solutions. It also executes direct real-estate investments and owns sports franchises. Confirmed holdings include the Kannapolis Cannon Ballers, Greensboro Grasshoppers, and Lexington Legends. Additional positions span mixed-use developments such as Stadium Lofts in Kannapolis and The Lamont in Washington, DC. Activity remains concentrated in North America, with primary footprints in the District of Columbia, North Carolina, New Jersey, Florida, and Virginia. No public headcount or AUM figure has been released. The team includes family members Michael Sandler and Jake Sandler alongside non-family operators such as Paul Weller and A. Michael Miller. Adjacent vehicles comprise the Sandler Family Foundation and Temerity Impact Fund. In the last 24 months the office has continued to expand its real-estate and baseball holdings without announcing new external fund vehicles. Temerity maintains a hybrid structure that combines direct startup investments, real-asset ownership, and philanthropic vehicles under one family-controlled entity. This architecture allows allocation decisions to be made without external limited-partner reporting cycles or fixed fund terms.
