This Yuji vs Yuta fight is going to feed families 🔥

UBS’s Global Family Office Report shows growing professionalization: 60% now run annual budgets and 69% track performance.

Our research shows the same trend. Governance is improving, but soft capital (the trust, relationships, and knowledge sustaining wealth) remains largely unmanaged.

Who is going or wants to go?

Hello Bluesky community. Any recommendations for accounts worth following in the WealthTech, FinTech, or Family Office space?

If you run a family office or work for one we would love to chat with you!

DMs open.

Bring it.

Let's do this!

The Great Wealth Transfer is underway.
In Asia-Pacific alone, $5.8T will change hands by 2030 (McKinsey).

But what’s harder to pass on than capital?
🧠 Trust, relationships, and institutional knowledge.

Koki helps family offices preserve both financial and relational capital.
