The Connection:
I met Ty at the Next Legacy Bridge Summit in San Francisco in June.
Quotes of the Episode:
"From that moment, that's the guy that I wanted to be my whole career, my whole life, really - someone who people can trust, who's prepared, who doesn't need to practice something to execute it."
"I was so afraid of going broke that I don't think I made enough proactive decisions because I was afraid of having to be reactive... I wish I would have been more focused on my net worth and how to eliminate my liabilities and grow my assets."
"If you're an athlete, and you want to be the best, go to Stanford. You're going to be surrounded by the best. Period."
Bet You Didn’t Know:
Ty grew up with over 20 foster siblings over the course of his childhood.
Ty Montgomery helps lead relationship development and investment support at Next Legacy. As part of both the network and investment teams, he focuses on building meaningful connections across the ecosystem, engaging athletes, LPs, GPs, and founders, while contributing to deal sourcing, diligence, and strategic community initiatives. Ty also plays an active role in advancing the firm’s signature programs and supporting athlete engagement across the platform.
Before joining Next Legacy, Ty spent nine years in the NFL, beginning his career with the Green Bay Packers where he became widely known for his versatility on the field. During his playing career, he developed a deep passion for finance, sparked by the Parable of the Talents in the Book of Matthew. What began as angel investing soon evolved into a full-time calling.
Ty graduated from Stanford University with a B.A. in Political Science. He grew up alongside more than 17 foster siblings and now serves on the board of Connections Homes, continuing his mission to support youth aging out of foster care through redemptive relationship, service, and mentorship.
Outside of work, Ty is grounded by his faith and energized by adventure, sports, and helping others grow. He's always down for a trip, a conversation about Jesus, a round of golf, or discovering a new favorite restaurant.
