ROOTKey and Fasttrack Ventures: A Partnership to Accelerate International Expansion

We've signed a strategic mandate with Fasttrack Ventures, under its Venturing Innovation™ strategy. From now on, Fasttrack Ventures will support ROOTKey's next growth phase: business development, international expansion, strategic partnerships, and access to potential funding sources.

The collaboration will focus in particular on the Middle East and Latin America - two regions where Fasttrack Ventures brings an already-built network of relationships to support opportunity validation and ROOTKey's international growth.

This isn't a random bet. These are regions actively building their own data protection, cybersecurity, and digital resilience frameworks - with new authorities, transition periods under way, and growing requirements for continuous proof of integrity, not just documented intent. That's exactly the problem ROOTKey solves, applied to markets that are still defining how they will demand that proof.

Entering these markets early, with a partner that already has relationships and execution capacity on the ground, is a different kind of international expansion - faster than building local presence from zero, and more direct than betting on remote digital marketing alone.

With more than 186 organizations already using the platform, ROOTKey brings real traction to this mandate. Fasttrack Ventures isn't betting on an idea - it's betting on a company with proven momentum.

"ROOTKey has spent the past few years building a solid foundation: technology validated in production, more than 186 organizations relying on the platform, users in several different countries. The partnership with Fasttrack Ventures now gives us a capability we didn't have on our own - direct access to markets in the Middle East and Latin America, strategic relationships already in place, and a shorter path to capital. This is the next phase, and it's way bigger than the last one."

Gonçalo Pedro Gil, CEO of ROOTKey

"ROOTKey has the technology, the ambition, and the international potential. Our goal is to put an integrated capability for business development, market access, relationship building, and capital mobilization at its service, turning those assets into concrete growth opportunities."

Manel Magalhães, Partner at Fasttrack Ventures

This partnership isn't a standalone announcement - it's the start of joint work to identify markets, clients, and partners across the Middle East and Latin America. We'll share the first concrete moves into these markets here, as they happen.

ROOTKey is just getting started on this phase. If you'd like to talk to us about these markets, or about the platform, reach out at contact@rootkey.ai.
