■ Boseman (Region:Wealth and Money Management)
Boseman is a company that exists to build the next generation of Robo-Advisors and Digital Wealth platforms. These platforms make it simple and free (or close to) for people to invest in the Markets. Wealth management remains one of the most profitable industries that categorically does not deliver value over the long term and standard Robo-advisors do not appear to be the answer given their traction. We have one of the strongest Fintech teams in the market who were part one of Silicon Valley’s first Robo-Advisors called FutureAdvisor (acquired by Blackrock in 2015). They have also worked on large consumer products at FB, Skype and unicorn startups like Intercom and Revolut. With respect to Japan we are exploring launching either a stand-alone product ourselves or partnering up with an Instituition ready to innovate and enter the Digital Wealth space.
