Sunlit Ventures is founded by a group of Stripe alumni dedicated to investing in and advising founders who are building solutions for financial inclusion in the digital economy. We specialize in pre-seed, seed, and Series A investments in infrastructure solutions for the fintech industry (API, Blockchain, AI), with a particular focus on platforms designed for developers. Our initial target markets include Europe (Southern countries), Latam, Africa (Nigeria) and the Middle East (mainly the UAE and Saudi Arabia), addressing the pressing need for fintech infrastructure solutions and promoting financial inclusion. We invest equally in companies originating from these markets, those developing solutions for these markets, and those seeking to expand into these markets. With over 20 years of combined expertise in investing and fostering the growth of fintech startups worldwide, we offer customized support and strategic direction to help overcome growth hurdles, especially in developing impactful Go-to-Market strategies. We operate with our own capital. We typically get involved directly into the operations of our customers (both portfolio companies or external clients), sharing our direct experience in building and scaling fintech unicorns.
