On this episode of Invested, Michael Eisenberg sits down with Amir Fischer, a 16-year-old investor, podcaster, and emerging venture capitalist who is building an entirely new investing thesis: teenagers backing teenagers.
In this sharp and unconventional conversation, Amir explains how he started investing in public markets at age 10, built a $15,000-a-month ad agency at 14, cold-emailed 3,000 financial titans to launch his podcast, and raised a $2 million venture fund - legally set up in his mother’s name - to back the most exceptional teenage founders in the world.
Michael and Amir explore what makes this generation different: growing up with the internet, adapting early to AI, and developing leverage far earlier than previous generations ever could. They also debate whether school is still the best use of time for ambitious young builders, why maturity matters more than intelligence, and how short-form content and algorithms are creating a “Great Bifurcation” between high-agency and low-agency people.
They discuss:
Why teenagers may be the most overlooked investment category in the world
How Amir landed guests like Steve Cohen through relentless persistence
Why some of the most talented teens are already working in crypto, AI, and trading
The dangers of algorithm-driven short-form content
How access to information is reshaping ambition, learning, and opportunity
Where elite teenage founders actually come from
Why Amir sees himself as a “kingmaker” for his generation
Amir also reflects on identity, conviction, and the fear of mediocrity - and why young people should use their age as an advantage, not a limitation.
Amir Fischer is the founder of Noar Ventures, a venture fund focused on investing in exceptional teenage founders, and the host of Generating Alpha, where he has interviewed some of the most prominent investors in the world.
If you want to understand where the next generation of founders, investors, and capital allocators is coming from, this episode is essential viewing.
