A Q/A Session with the Untapped Global Team

Over the past ten months, Untapped Global has introduced an innovative investment model called Smart Asset Financing™ that provides flexible capital for fast-growing companies in emerging markets like Paga, Asaak, and FlexClub.   

For investors, Smart Asset Financing™ leverages IoT technology to make investments safer and more profitable by tracking assets and capturing revenue in real-time.We’ve proven that it works: we’ve financed hundreds of entrepreneurs in over half a dozen countries, and have become profitable in the 10 short months since we launched. So far, we’ve only been able to make this investment opportunity available to “accredited” (ie. wealthy) investors willing to write big checks. Now, we want to make the opportunity to profitably invest in emerging markets available to anyone, anywhere.

We are raising $1M on WeFunder to build an online platform that allows any type of investor – big or small – to invest in Smart Asset Financing™ for fast-growing small businesses in Africa, Latin American, and Asia.We’ll be hosting public Q&A sessions over the next several weeks to allow anyone, anywhere to speak directly to our CEO and Founder, Jim, and other members of our team to learn more about the Untapped movement.
