What our investors are saying

Untapped is making it possible for small investors like me to have access to these markets that we wouldn't have otherwise, and to some of the exciting opportunities happening in Africa, where I don't necessarily have a physical footprint myself.

Sandra Ponce de Leon

It's easier for me to put my investment in Untapped to achieve my goals, because you are de-risking the problem of me trying to understand it all myself. How deeply can I understand all of the African markets myself? You are doing that for me, and helping me increase my reach. That's the beauty.

Bade Aluko

If I can make the same amount by putting my money in Africa as I can by putting it [in the USA/Canada], it's a no brainer. Then everyone is winning. That's what I like about Untapped, it feels like everyone is winning.

Jeff Craig

I invested in Untapped because they're working with businesses that have real growth potential, but are capital constrained. They are giving the operators the resources they need to grow the business in a de-risked way, through visibility into how the assets that support those businesses are being used.
