Description

Growing up in New Jersey, Matt Koppenheffer got his first real education in money when he started shoveling driveways in his neighborhood after snowstorms. After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania with a degree in economics, he headed to Wall Street in search of a job in the investment banking industry. When that didn’t pan out, he headed west to San Francisco and started a career in business and investing that has led him to the forefront of the AI revolution. Matt shares:
- How money was a natural part of the conversation in his home growing up
- A better way to teach high school students about investing
- Why the world of AI financing is “really incestuous”
- The unlikely movie that best reflects how he feels about money
