Untapped Ventures is an early-stage VC firm backing technical AI founders building the next generation of AI-Native B2B startups - from Agentic AI and Vertical AI to AI Infrastructure. We lead, co-lead, and follow Pre-Seed and Seed rounds with $500K-$2M checks for AI startups with a focus on Native AI, Frontier AI, Embodied AI, Deep Tech AI, and AI Convergence.

We founded Standard Bots because we believe that automation can lead to a better world. By performing time-consuming, repetitive, and dangerous tasks, robotics gives us more time to be creative, spend time with loved ones, and chase our dreams. Though the potential of this technology is immense, when we looked around we saw a broken robotics market — one with enormous upfront costs, excessively complex software, and outdated support systems that make it impossible for many business to take advantage of automation’s vast benefits. So we assembled a team of experts to build a new robot, write custom software for it, and develop a new kind of subscription model that opens the world of automation to everyone. Expanding access to robotics doesn’t end when our customers receive their product either. We are committed to offering the best ongoing support to keep every RO1 operating at the cutting edge. Automation will define our future, so it must be widely available and applied toward a noble mission. We’ve taken the first step, and we’re just getting started.

NativeMeet was created with a simple belief: the world understands places better through people, not polished tourism narratives. Every country has its own food, traditions, language, and everyday stories—but most global platforms fail to represent them authentically. NativeMeet exists to change that. We are building a global cultural community platform that connects people through real local experiences. Instead of curated travel highlights, NativeMeet empowers locals to share their culture as it is lived—through food, traditions, neighborhoods, and community stories. Our model is country-first: we work with one trusted community partner per country who understands local identity and helps grow authentic participation. NativeMeet blends community, content, and technology to create meaningful cultural connections. We collaborate with creators, students, and community builders to document local culture while maintaining trust, accuracy, and respect. Our platform is designed to scale globally while remaining deeply local. We are an early-stage, founder-led startup focused on sustainable, community-driven growth. While we are currently bootstrapped, our priority is building strong local networks, engaged communities, and a trusted global brand before scaling further. Our culture values authenticity, ownership, and inclusivity. We work remotely, respect local autonomy, and encourage our team to lead with pride in their roots. At NativeMeet, growth is measured not just by numbers, but by the depth of connection we create between cultures.

Learning for software developers is broken. Available options are boring, time-consuming, not relevant to everyone, or require the company to take a big productivity hit. We've designed a fast, effective training solution for tech teams that avoids those pitfalls. Targeted Capability Training is: - Core to how an engineering team operates, not a fringe add-on or an after-thought. - Learning that aligns with business priorities and changes what the team is capable of. And we’re called Skiller Whale because … well, our love of puns knows no bounds. Our mission is to change what tech teams are capable of. We’ve found the most effective way to accomplish this is through challenging, realistic exercises that can be explored and tackled in our interactive teaching model. We strive to be intelligent, playful learners, like our Orca, Ada (yes, we love a Lovelace reference). These principles define who we are, not only as a company providing a product, but also as a group of people working together. We believe that diversity makes us stronger and are dedicated to building a company that represents society as a whole. We value marginalised people’s safety over privileged people’s comfort. We value honest and open communication, and we believe that in order to foster an environment that enables this, it’s important that our team feel included, recognised and like they can bring their full selves to work.
