Jeff Bezos' Family Office Backed Five AI Startups in June
Bezos Expeditions made five AI startup investments in June, making it the most active family office investor of 2024 so far.
Jeff Bezos' personal investment vehicle, Bezos Expeditions, cemented its position as the most active family office investor of the year after backing five artificial intelligence startups in June alone, according to data from financial intelligence platform Fintrx.
