We're reshaping profitable investing in emerging markets

The 'Aha!' moment

After spending several years volunteering in Haiti, our Founder, Jim Chu, recognized the need for sustainable change and launched dloHaiti, a water distribution network led by local Haitian entrepreneurs. While growing dloHaiti, he discovered that the financing needed to scale the business was difficult to find or, in most cases, did not exist because of where the business was operating.

Untapped Global is founded

Untapped Global is launched to put 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. We deploy Smart Asset Financing™ for the first time, focusing on water assets in Kenya.

Scaling Smart Asset Financing™

We develop our data platform to provide real-time underwriting of our deals, de-risk our investments, and measure our social impact as we scale Smart Asset Financing™ to include different asset types, industries, and geographies.

Launching our investment and data platforms

We launch our online investment platform and data platform to make investing in emerging markets easy, safe, and accessible for global investors.

18k+ assets financed with $11.1M AUM

We cross 18,000 assets financed across over a dozen countries with $11.1M AUM and close a seed round to continue scaling our Smart Asset Financing™ model and data platform.
