Manifesto
Our Financial System needs to work for everyone:
customers, banks, shareholders, and community.
The time for change is now.
We believe that bringing together stakeholders and harnessing the power of networks creates the most value. Value@Scale™.
FinMirai aspires to work with the smartest and quickest to create value for customers, community, and partners.
Our objective is simple. To create a financially stronger and more equitable world.
We, the FinMirai
Partnership commit to
01
Challenge the status quo & cut across silos.
04
Keep present the fact that diversity is meritocracy: who we are is more important than where we are from.
02
Be colour rich, not colour blind.
05
Challenge convention to deliver the potential of digital transformation.
03
Live diversity, not just casually endorse it.
06
Above all, to release value to those in our society that need it most.
Welcome to FinMirai.
The art & science of Venture Orchestration
Over the last few years venture creation firms calling themselves studios or accelerators have popped up all over the world.
FinMirai doesn't operate that way.
FinMirai practices Venture Orchestration.
Venture Orchestration fuses art and science. Art you can value. Science you can measure. We work with founders and executives that have big jobs to do. We leverage our networks and insights to deliver scaled value for all stakeholders.
The stakeholders we value most?
Your Customers.

Cocktails
& Reads
We are avid readers at FinMirai — and, let’s face it, we work in finance so enjoy a tipple, too.
In this section we’ll share some of our favourite books and the appropriate cocktail to pair it with. We’ll suggest books in a broad range of topics, from business to wellness and of course, biographies.
If you have any suggestions for books we should be reading or cocktails we should be shaking, contact us!
