Nic Pantucci
Founder and investor.
I build companies around a single problem: how businesses in emerging markets get the goods, the credit and the counterparties they need to trade. Two of those companies have been sold. The data from a decade of doing it is what I work with now.
Now
- Caravel Risk
- Trade credit insurance on emerging-market importers, priced from company-level payment data rather than country models. West Africa first.
- ATEX, for Afreximbank
- Operating the African Trade Exchange on behalf of Afreximbank and UNECA: onboarding importers and exporters across the continent onto a single sourcing and settlement platform.
Before
- WaystoCap
- Y Combinator-backed B2B trade platform for Africa; World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer. Acquired.
- First company
- Sold to Meta.
