Ryan Faridian and the inheritance that wasn’t money
A grandfather’s promise to investors, a father’s advisory practice, and a son’s frustration with disconnected advice. Ryan Faridian’s family history runs through the multi-family office he leads in Vancouver.
Masterworks
Masterworks is a New York fintech that lets everyday investors buy fractional shares in multimillion-dollar blue-chip paintings by artists such as Basquiat, Picasso, Warhol and Banksy. Founded in 2017 by serial entrepreneur Scott Lynn, the company buys individual artworks, registers each as a public offering with the SEC, and sells shares for as little as $20, then holds the work for several years before selling it and distributing proceeds. It reached unicorn status in 2021 after a $110M Series A and has grown to more than one million members.
