About Amc Family Office
AMC Family Office traces to Asset Management Company, the venture firm founded in East Palo Alto, California in 1965 by Franklin "Pitch" Johnson. Johnson became a venture capitalist in 1962 as co-founder of Draper & Johnson Investment Company with William H. Draper, then founded Asset Management Company in 1965, which made over 250 venture investments across some 43 years — making it one of Silicon Valley's earliest venture operations. The family's wealth stems from early-stage technology and life-sciences investing. Johnson invested in biotechnology companies such as Amgen, Biogen and Applied Biosystems, as well as computer companies including Tandem Computers, Qume and Teradyne. The Johnson vehicle continues in that vein: an early-stage venture capital firm focused on digital health, technology and life sciences investments. A third-party estimate places assets around $500M.
