Job OpportunitiesWhere money becomes the Business
We invest in platforms where fintech can become a major revenue stream.
Fintech Providers: companies building the infrastructure and capabilities that enable other businesses to offer financial services to their users.
Fintech Distributors: vertical applications with the potential to become powerful distribution channels for payments, credit, insurance, and other embedded financial products.
We back founders at the earliest stages, when the right operator insight, strategic introductions, and hands-on support can meaningfully shape the journey ahead. We focus on four signals that matter most:
Founder insight: Deep industry expertise, paired with a non-obvious angle on a sophisticated problem.
Technical edge: A product or technology advantage with the potential to reshape its market.
White spaces: Solutions addressing clear gaps we see across the fintech landscape.
Global mindset: Founders building for scale across markets from day one.
We focus on Latin America, Southern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa: large, fast-evolving markets where fintech adoption is accelerating and local complexity creates space for new category leaders.
Whether you are building from these markets, building for them, or expanding into them, we can help.
Our portfolio reflects this global approach: 50% Americas, 30% Europe, and 20% Africa.
We back B2B and B2B2C platforms built for technical users and specific business personas, with products that are easy to access, adopt, and integrate.
Our background is in scaling technical platforms, and we believe the strongest companies are built around real user pain, elegant product design, and seamless integration into the tools their customers already use.
Sunlit Ventures is an operator-led angel investor community, bringing together operators and angel investors investing their own capital into high-conviction opportunities.
We invest flexibly, with checks ranging from $5K to $250K through individual commitments and SPVs.
Beyond
Capital
Sunlit Ventures connects founders with operators who have helped build and scale leading technology, fintech, and AI companies globally.
From building the financial layer of a product to embedding financial services, defining go-to-market, hiring early teams, and approaching regulators, we bring practical support where early-stage founders need it most.
