Delper Global Trust Infrastructure
A $4.0M CapEx round for 25% equity at a $12.0M pre-money valuation ($16.0M post-money).
October 2026
Redefining global trade velocity
- The mission. Delper is digital trust infrastructure for B2B cross-border commerce. A unified API layer and automated legal frameworks bypass shipping bottlenecks and unlock faster transactions.
- The problem. Fragmented escrow, manual quality checks, and long port customs queues lock up trading capital and cap annual turnover.
- The solution. An automated system that matches, secures, and verifies transactions on the water under High Sea Sales (HSS) frameworks.
- The metric. A 14-day settlement cycle, enabling 26 capital turns per year.
- The ask. $4.0M for 25% equity, with a 2.0-year investor payback.
Capital is stuck in the trade cycle
- Friction. Cross-border commodity and e-commerce deals stall on fragmented supply chains, opaque quality control, manual escrow, and weeks of customs delay.
- Stagnation. Trading firms run low annual turnover because capital sits in compliance, tax holdbacks, and port queues instead of generating yield.
- Cost. Long cash-conversion cycles reduce trade volume, raise landed prices for buyers, and squeeze supplier margins.
Frictionless 14-day settlement
One API layer automates the full transaction, end to end.
- Onboarding. Buyers and vendors are verified through a single Proxtera endpoint.
- Bidding. SAP S/4HANA matches procurement and selects the lowest qualifying offer.
- Escrow. Tazapay holds buyer funds until goods pass inspection.
- Quality control. SGS inspection triggers a webhook that releases funds automatically.
Bypassing the shore-side customs bottleneck
Delper operates as a financial clearing rail under High Sea Sales (HSS). Cargo ownership transfers by digital endorsement of the Bill of Lading while the shipment is still at sea.
- Port clearance queues leave the operational clock entirely.
- Upfront domestic import duties and local tax lock-ups are avoided.
- Capital is released as soon as the SGS pass webhook fires. The end buyer becomes importer of record after the transaction has closed.
Velocity, not inventory, drives revenue
The HSS structure compresses each transaction to a 14-day loop, giving 26 capital turns per year from Year 2 onward. Delper scales by accelerating its liquid capital pool, not by holding physical stock.
Take rates are 24.2% on consumer and high-margin turnover and 15.184% on premium commodities. Year 1 starts at $39.0M GMV and generates $9.44M in revenue.
Market sizing
| Layer | Value | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| TAM | $176.44T | World GDP baseline; volume capped at 70% of world GDP |
| SAM | $9.15T | Physical commodity and e-commerce trade rails |
| SOM, Year 1 | $39.0M | GMV on $2.214M of liquid trading capital |
| Volume, Year 11 | $123.51T | Exceeds SAM through recursive turnover |
Recursive turnover means the same buyer money cycles through multiple 14-day loops, so cumulative volume can exceed the physical asset base of the SAM.
Volume grows as revenue is reinvested
60% of post-tax platform revenue returns to the liquid trading reserve every year.
| Year | Trading capital | Turns | GMV | Revenue |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $2.21M | 17.6 | $39.00M | $9.44M |
| 2 | $7.88M | 26.0 | $204.83M | $49.57M |
| 3 | $37.62M | 26.0 | $978.09M | $236.70M |
| 4 | $179.64M | 26.0 | $4.67B | $1.13B |
| 11 | $10.17T | 12.1 | $123.51T | $29.89T |
Investors receive 25% of a 24.15% CapEx repayment stream, which is 6.04% of gross revenue. At Year 2 volumes that is $2.99M a year, for a payback of about 2.0 years.
How one capital turn clears on the water
Proxtera matches buyers and vendors. SAP selects the lowest offer.
Tazapay locks buyer funds. The vessel departs with cargo.
SGS triggers the pass webhook while the vessel is mid-voyage.
The Bill of Lading is endorsed. Capital is freed for the next turn.
26 turns depends on a 14-day cycle
Turns per year equal 365 divided by cycle length. The 26-turn figure holds only if every turn closes within 14 days. High Sea Sales makes that possible, because title transfers mid-voyage and the cycle does not wait for port clearance.
On target for Year 2 onward.
Year 1 at 17.6 turns implies an average cycle of about 21 days. Year 11 at 12.1 turns implies about 30 days. Confirm lane-level cycle times before relying on the 26-turn figure.
