Early-Stage Venture · Build + Invest
Untamed Ventures partners with relentless founders at the earliest stage, sometimes before the company exists. We write checks and we co-found companies from zero to one.

How We Invest
We get involved before consensus forms and before ownership compresses. Our best entries are at the moment of maximum ambiguity, when the category does not yet have a name and conviction is the only underwriting tool available.
We write checks and we co-found companies from zero to one. For our incubations we work hands-on alongside technical co-founders, setting strategy, building product, finding the first customers, before setting the team up for the next phase of growth.
Our Current Thesis
We look for investment opportunities in overlooked segments of the market. We partner with founders who don't fit the mold to build durable businesses with solid fundamentals from day one.
We focus on embedding intelligence into real-world workflows and industries that remain largely under-digitized. We focus on embedding intelligence into real-world workflows and industries that remain largely under-digitized like the skilled trades. These are the categories where AI can make people dramatically more capable, not replace them. Where the market is vast, the competition is low, and the value creation is durable.
We call it Blue Collar AI.
About
Untamed Ventures was founded by Anas Assara, an experienced investor and entrepreneur with a track record spanning zero-to-one company building and investments from early stage to IPO across technology.
We are not a passive capital provider. We sit with founders in the earliest and most uncertain moments, helping build product, sharpen narrative, find customers, and prepare for institutional growth capital. Every portfolio company gets direct access to the General Partner.
Untamed Ventures Fund II is actively deploying and incubating new companies.
What Founders Say
"
If any early stage startup founder raising a round asks for an intro to investors to partner up with, I would always vouch for Untamed Ventures. They have been hands down one of the most active, committed and value-add investors for us and will help you with anything you need.

Anas has been an incredibly helpful and proactive investor. He consistently aims to open doors in his network, anticipate our needs, and think through opportunities with us. We would recommend him as a great partner to early stage founders.

Good investors don't just come in with the capital. Good investors are your true partners who commit to your vision and stand by you through the ups and downs you see as an early-stage company. Anas has been just that for us. As one of our earliest backers, Anas always has our backs, giving candid feedback on ideas and going out of his way to make important introductions. We are truly lucky to have him.
