H. Scott Silverman is a co-founder and Managing Director of Agman Partners and has responsibility across all investment and
philanthropic activities of the firm.
Prior to Agman, Scott was a venture capitalist — most recently with

strategy consultant at The Boston Consulting Group. He has played a
significant role in a number of private investments, including
supporting the formation and financing of numerous successful life
science and technology companies. To date, these investments have
generated several hundred million dollars in returns for investors.
As a Keasbey Memorial Scholar, Scott received his doctorate in
clinical medicine from the University of Oxford and was awarded an
Extraordinary Full Blue in water polo. Scott also graduated Phi Beta
Kappa and with High Honors from Dartmouth College with a BA in
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, where he was a Howard Hughes
Medical Intern. His work has been published and reviewed in several
top tier journals, including Genes & Development and Nature Biotech.
Scott can most often be found in Chicago or Miami Beach on a long walk
with his wife, daughter and mini-dachshund.
Jeff Silverman is a co-founder and Managing Director of Agman
Partners. In the more than 40 years since graduating from MIT with a
BS in Management, Jeff has applied value investing principles to a
narrow circle of commodity futures.
Highly pragmatic and a textbook Myers Briggs INTJ, Jeff decided to
become a trader in response to his uncle's constant questioning. At
the age of 12, after reading all the biographies he recognized, Jeff
went to the library and started over at ‘A’. He did not make it very
far, before discovering Bernard Baruch “a financier, arbitrageur and
advisor to Presidents”. Of late, Jeffrey is most admiring of the
trading prowess of Jay Gould as depicted in Edward J. Renehan's "The
Dark Genius of Wall Street".
Jeff served on the Board of Directors of the CME for nine years as a
popularly elected Director from the Exchange Community chairing
various Committees including Technology Oversight and Strategic
Planning. Recently he joined the Advisory Committee for MIT's Center
for International Studies.
As a trader, Jeff is always viewing the world a little differently
than conventional wisdom would suggest. He is known to say, “Sometimes
you make money, and other times you contribute to liquidity”.
