Maji provides a financial wellbeing and open finance platform that educates and coaches employees to build financial resilience, confidence and savings. Its platform offers personalised tools, resources and access to expert guidance for employees. The company positions its product as a way for employers to demonstrate care while driving increased engagement and reduced absenteeism. CEO and co-founder Sahil Sethi highlighted widespread under-saving for retirement and said the cost-of-living crisis is increasing employee stress and harming productivity and retention; he described Maji as the missing piece in employer benefits that will be widely adopted over time. Financially, Maji is in the midst of a £500,000 seed funding round, with London-based angel syndicate Veridian Ventures contributing £150,000. Veridian partner Dan Schonfeld said the investment supports Maji’s mission and cited the company’s data-driven approach and commitment to financial inclusion.
