Our Story

Family Office Networks: the private network & premier media destination for family offices.

Founded in 2014 by Andrew Schneider, and published at familyofficenetworks.com until 2026. Today FON serves family-office principals and ultra-high-net-worth individuals through three pillars: the network, original media, and a year-round events calendar.

“We started with a small group of peer principals sharing deal flow. That instinct is still the backbone of FON today.” — Andrew Schneider, Founder
Mission

Connecting family offices through people, content, and convenings.

Family Office Networks was founded in 2014 to serve as the connective tissue across the global family-office community — single and multi-family offices, ultra-high-net-worth individuals, advisors, and the firms that serve them.

FON has since absorbed our former media arm (FONMC) to create one unified brand. The same audience, the same editorial team, the same in-person programming — now under one roof, with three pillars.

No pitch decks. No sponsored content masquerading as journalism. Just the work — read, watched, and discussed by the people who actually move the capital.
