Investment Focus

Who should take a closer look

Untapped Global is most relevant for founders raising Seed and Growth rounds in Mobility/Transportation, Climate/Cleantech, Medtech, and Fintech, especially across emerging markets, Africa, and Latin America, with public check-size signals around $50k to $5m.

Focus statement

They focus on financing tech-enabled, capital-intensive, asset-heavy SMEs in emerging markets (notably Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia) across sectors such as electric mobility, water distribution, agriculture, healthcare and clean energy, using flexible revenue-share structures and phased funding from pilot to scale-up.

Value Add

  • Proprietary Smart Asset Financing™ model that captures operational and transactional data in real time to underwrite deals and monitor portfolio health (site states: "Since 2021 we have captured over 27 million data points in real time from the over 55,000 assets we’ve financed").
  • Revenue-share repayment aligned with company performance: "We collect . . . a share of each asset's revenues to repay the financing - the more the entrepreneur makes, the higher the yield on our financing."
  • Payment integration and automated repayment processing to speed deployments and reduce friction for founders: "We automate repayment processing for the businesses we finance by integrating with their payment solutions."
  • Phased capital deployment (Pilot → Scale-Up) with explicit check sizes and milestones to de-risk scaling (Pilot checks $50K–$150K; Scale-Up $1M–$5M+ per year).
  • Impact + transparency focus: real-time investor visibility into asset revenue streams and impact metrics (CO2 displaced, SME revenue catalyzed, entrepreneurs supported).
  • Targeting entrepreneurs excluded from traditional finance: "revenue-generating assets in the hands of entrepreneurs who don't fit the traditional venture capital model and don't have access to loans or grants."
