Who We Are

Productive capital, flowing efficiently.

Finhaven was founded in 2017 with a vision of global capital market integration with DLT infrastructure, facilitating capital to efficiently flow into real production — promoting productive capital in contrast with speculative capital.

Finhaven was one of the first security token protocol contributors on the Ethereum chain, and performed the technical POC of a 30 million GBP onchain fund in early 2018. In 2020, Finhaven Capital was authorized to operate as a security token dealer, marketplace, and clearing agency within the regulatory sandbox. We were an early mover in this space and matured into a technology company with various technology stacks and deep knowledge and experience in capital markets and regulations.

Now Finhaven is a technology and advisory firm.
