Gary Kucher

Gary Kucher builds companies. Across decades of markets, there has been the one constant: identify an overlooked opportunity, assemble the qualified team, and execute successfully.

The chapters have been varied, deliberately: two Madison Avenue advertising firms. Two fully licensed casinos. Ventures in steel manufacturing and international meat production. From 2000 to 2004, he served as CEO & Chairman of Manex Entertainment, the two-time Academy Award-winning studio behind 'The Matrix' and 'What Dreams May Come', leading 300+ employees serving more than 50 film and television productions.

Then he did what most Beverly Hills executives don't: he moved to Ulaanbaatar. He co-founded the Mongolia Fund to bring Western operating discipline to one of the world's fastest-growing economies and earned a Forbes Magazine headline ("The Genghis Khan of Fund Managers").

The connective tissue across all of it is capital markets. He's held FINRA Series 7 and Series 24 licenses, served as President and then CEO of a publicly traded energy company, and has advised acquisitions, stock offerings, spin-offs, leveraged buyouts, and joint ventures for financial and strategic buyers alike.

Today his focus is where capital meets consequence:

Senior Managing Director, Proper Capital: international wealth management, chairing the firm's most complex,
high-stakes engagements.

Managing Partner, Auspicious Fund: venture capital backing founders building AI that is safe, accessible, and
beneficial.

Founding Partner, myAux AI Labs: sovereign, bespoke AI models built and run on your own hardware.

Founder, Align AI Foundation: a nonprofit working to ensure the most consequential technology in history benefits everyone.

Gary is selective about new opportunities, and generous with the ones that matter. DM for board, advisory, investment, or speaking inquiries.

He is an American entrepreneur, impact investor, philanthropist and a delightful dinner party raconteur with a lifelong interest in technology and a passion for excellence.
