JM Anderson Inc. is a privately held global holding company headquartered in Los Angeles, California. Its roots go back to May 11, 1984, when the firm was incorporated in New York City as VCH Enterprises Inc. by Charlie Victor Caldwell-Hughes, three members of his family, and Charlie’s longtime mentor and senior partner, David Everett Vaughn, a Vermont-born entrepreneur whose guidance shaped the company’s early strategy. After David Vaughn’s passing, the business reorganized under the name NSW Ventures. Stewardship later moved to David’s great-grandson, Nathan Vaughn-Sands (born 1996), who now directs long-range investment policy and international expansion. Under his leadership, NSW Ventures entered a pivotal alliance with José Manuel Anderson (born 2001), creator of NewSwing Academies Global—a premier youth-development platform spanning the Americas and Europe. In early 2025, NSW Ventures—alongside Y Combinator, Clearlake Capital Group, and a consortium of institutional investors—acquired NewSwing Academies Global. The enlarged enterprise briefly traded as NewSwing Corporation before completing its legal rebrand to JM Anderson Inc. in March 2025, honoring José Manuel Anderson’s role in the company’s modern identity. He now serves as Partner Emeritus. Today, JM Anderson Inc. manages a diversified portfolio across education, real estate development, aviation, hospitality, cannabis, sports infrastructure, and private capital investment. With operations on five continents, the firm oversees assets exceeding $7.9 billion and reported $4.7 billion in revenue year-to-date as of mid-2025. Built on the foundation of NewSwing Academies Global, JM Anderson Inc. operates with intentional discretion, multi-generational strategy, and a long-term growth model. It remains committed to building, acquiring, and scaling ventures that shape the future of global living, learning, and mobility.
