John Garry has spent much of his early life exploring community and capital. His paternal grandfather operated a grain elevator for the better part of 20th century, and Garry Elevator seeks to continue a legacy of sophisticated, hyperlocal financial services.

John’s work in endowment management and venture capital has shaped an investment philosophy that emphasizes resilience and relationship over other factors. At the University of Notre Dame, he led the Investment Office’s research into cryptoassets. At High Alpha, he helped to invest in early stage companies and scale the firm’s corporate venture studio arm.

He currently lives in Brooklyn, New York.
