INNOVATIVE FUNDING & GROWTH PLATFORM TO GIVE LOCAL EARLY STAGE FOUNDERS ACCESS TO UNBIASED AND REMOTE CAPITAL.
Uncap is a funding platform seeking to revolutionize access to early-stage funding in Africa. Their main mission is to make early-stage funding accessible to every good entrepreneur in sub-Saharan Africa. Early-stage entrepreneurs are usually considered too risky for bank financing and their funding needs are too large for microfinance and too small for venture capital investors. This led Uncap to develop a new way of funding using a fully remote, data-driven, and highly streamlined process as well as an innovative investment model. They will be furnishing existing businesses in need of capital between 10,000 and 50,000 USD.
