Untapped Capital is an early-stage venture capital firm that invests in overlooked and under-networked founders building innovative startups. Co-founded by Yohei Nakajima and Jessica Jackley, the firm is known for its unique build-in-public methodology and AI-powered approach to venture investing. The firm generates approximately 90% of its pipeline through systematic outbound sourcing rather than relying on warm introductions, specifically targeting introverted technologists, non-tech industry veterans, and heads-down operators who are strong on execution but lack social connections to VCs. Untapped Capital leverages AI tools throughout its operations, including AI-assisted startup research and a founder-facing GPT VC Associate, positioning itself as a pioneer in using artificial intelligence to run venture operations more efficiently.
