Nestled in the vibrant heart of Tel Aviv, amidst the ceaseless rhythm of innovation, I've been immersed in Israel's investment scene for over a quarter of a century. Despite countless shifts and reinventions in the financial realm, my passion for positive change and unwavering faith in technology remain steadfast. FINQ sprouted from a heartfelt wish to shake up the financial world, crafting a space where tech and finance dance together effortlessly.
The road less traveled
From my early military days to my lecturing stints at Tel Aviv University, the urge to create an impact has been my compass. Finance, for me, wasn't a straight path. I started with a curiosity in economics, a subject I stumbled upon almost by accident, later furthering my knowledge with an MBA in Finance.
My early career was forged at Israel's trailblazing venture fund or my roles at Clal and Evergreen Funds. Yet the corporate maze of larger firms wasn't for me but proved to be an invaluable stepping stone. However, my true calling was realized with the birth of the Tamir Fishman Group in the mid-90s as it allowed me to shape the financial landscape.
But amidst these milestones, I sensed a void. I've always been on the lookout for the next horizon and the financial world was a maze filled with snags that needed to be smoothed out. Traditional systems didn't always resonate with the everyday individual's needs. This realization was the origin of FINQ.
The birth of FINQ
The financial realm has its share of oddities. Middlemen, reminiscent of cinematic portrayals like 'The Wolf of Wall Street,' persist even today. Many are ensnared by these financial go-betweens. The traditional system, dominated by middlemen, often fails to serve the common man.
FINQ emerged from a yearning to rewrite the rules. I dreamt of a nexus where tech meets finance, placing power back into people's hands. At FINQ, we're not simply introducing yet another fintech tool, we are transforming how people manage their finances.
