ManaGlobal Holdings.
A New Zealand holding company building digital products where technology meets social responsibility. Incorporated 10 April 2025. Our first product, Mt Whare, is currently in development.
Mt Whare didn't start in a boardroom. It started in conversations about whānau who play games every day but feel locked out of the economy those games inhabit. About rangatahi with phone-pocket fluency and zero pathway to homeownership.
We built ManaGlobal Holdings to answer that with a product, not a policy paper. Mt Whare is a gamified marketplace where players learn business by doing business — virtually, then materially. Top performers don't get a leaderboard pat on the back; they get microloans, mentorship, and a real-world path to a home.
Our vision extends far beyond profit margins. Mt Whare is a vehicle for social change, rooted in three Māori values: manaakitanga, kaitiakitanga, and whanaungatanga. These shape how we build, who we hire, and the partners we choose.
We are not just constructing a platform. We are constructing pathways — to homeownership, to financial stability, to emancipation from cycles of disadvantage.
From Dereck Paora, CEO.
“The future is not something we enter. It is something we create. With Mt Whare, we are not playing games — we are changing the game entirely.
Our financial model shows a clear pathway to profit. But this is about more than profit. It's about a self-sustaining engine for societal transformation — measured not just in dollars, but in lives changed.
Join us. Let's not just disrupt. Let's transform.”
