Words from our founder

I decided to leave my position as a partner at EY and establish ume because I was dissatisfied with the lack of transparency and exclusivity prevalent in the investment industry, a sentiment shared by many others.​

At ume, we have developed the largest smart ecosystem of due diligence platforms for fund distribution, and we are grateful for the strong and dedicated user base that supports us. We have successfully eliminated the burdensome aspects of the due diligence process by facilitating connections between hundreds of companies every day, enabling them to conduct business with one another.​
