Hello. We’re Goji.

We’re a London-based, dynamic fintech scale-up, looking to grow rapidly throughout 2023.

We’re a diverse and inclusive team of technology, finance and operational specialists, with a mission to improve investor access to alternative assets. At the heart of Goji, are the three pillars of trust, innovation and expertise, which permeate at all levels, from the way we interact with our clients to the collaborative teams internally. Here, passion and ingenuity are celebrated and rewarded, with every member of the team having a tangible impact.

Our investment platform technology, regulated by the FCA, has serviced over £3 billion in assets for over 30,000 investors in 86 investor jurisdictions worldwide. Our customers include asset managers, fund administrators, placement agents, wealth managers and private banks.
