39. Carefully laid career plans were upended by 9/11 /Jared Carmel, Manhattan Venture Partners

New York native Jared Carmel was ready to take on the world in 2001 when he hit the job market fresh out of college. But his dreams of a cushy job at a big Wall Street investment firm evaporated in the dust of the 9/11 attacks.

Carmel eventually got hired at a boutique investment bank where he earned his chops wearing lots of hats and learning lots of skills.

Carmel became a pioneer in the development of secondary markets for pre-IPO technology companies. A founder and Managing Partner at Manhattan Venture Partners, Carmel has helped create nearly $2 billion of invested capital across more than 30 businesses with over 20 liquidity events including Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Lyft, Spotify, and Alibaba, to name just a few.

Carmel’s path to wealth was bookended by not one but two economic downturns – post 9/11 and the 2008 recession. So he has a wise perspective on the #Covid-19 rollercoaster.

He believes individuals and investors should look past the shock of the current U.S. crisis and read the global macro tea leaves.
