Untapped Ventures is an early-stage venture firm backing exceptional technical founders building AI-native companies that define the Autonomous Economy (AE).
We invest in startups building systems that perform economic work end-to-end, with a focus on the infrastructure, orchestration, control, and execution layers that make autonomous systems
possible. We look for founders with deep technical conviction, strong early momentum, and the urgency to move fast in markets where category leadership is still up for grabs.
We invest at the pre-seed and seed stage, leading, co-leading, and following rounds with ~$1M+ check capacity. To date, we have backed 35+ AI-native and AE-native companies and are supported by a highly engaged community of 100+ LPs and enterprise leaders who actively contribute to sourcing, diligence, and portfolio support.
We work closely with founders from day zero, helping shape narrative, sharpen go-to-market, accelerate distribution, and build toward durable outcomes as software evolves from tools into systems that do work.
