Investment thesis
LEAP Global Partners invests along two themes it calls following the data flows and following the money flows. On the data side, it backs companies that unlock proprietary datasets, improve data quality, store and share data securely, integrate data at scale, and monetize data including through agentic flows. On the money side, it backs firms embedding finance into non-financial platforms, delivering contextual and personalized financial services, accelerating borderless payments, building decentralized systems, and expanding financial inclusion. The team pairs domain expertise and operating backgrounds with networks across its target markets, particularly commerce, fintech, and SaaS.
