South African startup Vastpoint has raised strategic funding from impact investor Vital Capital to expand its land management solutions in vulnerable regions. The Johannesburg-based firm provides geospatial and land administration systems aimed at improving land use, ownership, and taxation.
Vastpoint supports governments and communities in Africa, Asia, and Latin America to build more transparent and inclusive land systems. The company has issued over 800,000 land titles and impacted more than 3 million people.
The funding from Vital Capital will support Vastpoint’s expansion into new markets where insecure land tenure continues to limit economic development, climate resilience, and social inclusion. Vital Capital focuses on investments that meet essential human needs, such as housing, food, and infrastructure.
Land tenure reform is central to addressing urbanization, food security, and poverty. The partnership reflects a growing focus on property rights as a driver of long-term development in underserved areas.

Points clés à retenir
Over 70% of the global population lacks formal land or property rights. In many parts of Africa, Asia, and Latin America, unclear land tenure creates barriers to infrastructure development, agricultural investment, and financial inclusion. Without legal documentation, smallholder farmers can’t secure loans, urban dwellers risk displacement, and governments lose potential revenue from property taxes. Vastpoint’s model combines digital mapping and land titling with local capacity building, helping governments formalize property rights and unlock new tax revenue. Vital Capital’s backing signals growing investor interest in “landtech” – technology-driven solutions to land governance issues. As global urban populations rise and climate risks increase, land management is becoming a core part of development policy. Secure tenure not only strengthens livelihoods and public trust but also contributes to better planning, climate adaptation, and inclusive economic growth. Vastpoint’s scale-up comes as demand for these solutions intensifies across the Global South.
