Producer Jack Davis Launches Tamarisk Lane
Entrepreneur and producer Jack Davis has launched Tamarisk Lane, a new holding company that will invest in early-stage consumer brands, incubate new ventures, and advise major media and entertainment partners on strategy and growth.
-The launch follows a landmark year for Davis’ portfolio. Chain, the food brand he co-founded with BJ Novak, recently announced an equity partnership with Fox. Jomboy Media, where Davis is an early investor and board member, closed an equity deal with Major League Baseball and an investor in food brands Dave’s Hot Chicken and Pop-Up Bagels.
Tamarisk Lane will make early-stage investments across sports, food, experiential, and entertainment with a focus on companies building at the intersection of culture and new technology. Incubating self-funded ventures is also in the cards. Davis continues producing film and television under the Tamarisk banner. Current projects include scripted films in development at Netflix and Amazon and multiple unscripted titles. He is serving as a producer on the recently announced six-episode Talk to Me VR spinoff series for Meta, and produced Amazon Prime Video’s Chhorii 2, and Chain’s 2024 unscripted special for Roku.
Tamarisk’s first hire is Eli Stern, who joins as Vice President. Stern began his career as a filmmaker -writing and directing California King.
Davis, who is the son of producer John Davis, began his career as the CEO of genre studio Crypt TV, which he cofounded with filmmaker Eli Roth. CryptTV was acquired by Brat TV in 2023.
“Launching Tamarisk Lane is the most exciting step of my career,” Davis said. “The way audiences engage with companies is changing fast, and that creates enormous opportunity to build businesses differently. We’re going to build and back great companies and part of what Tamarisk unique is helping companies big and small drive profit t through modern media strategy. I’m thrilled to start this next chapter with Eli, grateful for everyone I’ve worked with and learned from and to bring everything I’ve done under one unified platform.”
Tamarisk Lane is represented by CAA across all ventures, including film and television.
