Investment thesis

Global PayTech Ventures (GPT) is the first venture capital firm focused exclusively on ground-breaking payment technology. Founded by former Mastercard Europe President Javier Perez and his sons Daniel and Kristofer, GPT invests in early-stage paytech startups with differentiated technologies that meet massive market demand within the payments ecosystem — typically at Seed, Series A, or Series B. The firm believes card network rails will remain central to payments and provide a strong foundation for innovation, seeking solutions that can scale globally while respecting local nuances. Beyond capital, GPT provides hands-on mentorship, board-level strategic guidance, and an unparalleled global network of payments industry contacts to help portfolio companies achieve large-scale success.

Most VCs don't specialize in payments, so it takes time to brief them on concepts such as PSD2 or tokenization. But, for paytech founders, it's very important to move quickly and find what I call 'smart money,' investors who understand payments and can help them with the market and with contacts.

Javier Perez · American Banker – 'Former Mastercard Europe chief turns to VC to discover innovation'

Our firm reflects our belief that payments must be global while respecting local nuances. We seek solutions that can scale globally, but founders must integrate local go-to-market expertise to achieve this. The key is building a solution that works universally while allowing local client needs to guide implementation.
