Patamar Capital started with a bold vision: to drive financial inclusion in emerging markets.
Patamar Capital started as a venture capital firm with a bold vision: to drive financial inclusion in emerging markets. The genesis of Patamar goes back two decades when a group of finance and tech entrepreneurs founded Unitus Inc. to address global poverty through market-based solutions. Led by venture capitalist Geoff Woolley, a pioneer in venture debt, the group aimed to empower the working poor. Our mission remains – to scale high-impact solutions that address global challenges and drive long-term impact in underserved communities worldwide, while providing our investors with market rate returns.
Over the years, we’ve grown into a dynamic platform, launching catalytic financial products across asset classes and geographies. We have established six distinctive funds, including equity, venture debt, and gender lens-focused products. Through these endeavours, we have proudly invested in over 50 companies, directly impacting the lives of more than 15 million individuals.
Today, we continue to partner with visionary founders and investors to create inclusive economic opportunities for the emerging middle class, while generating strong financial returns.
