Originally founded as a family office in 1999 by Robin Klein and Saul Klein, it has evolved into one of Europe's respected investors in pre-seed and seed-stage companies.

LocalGlobe has participated in six funding rounds totaling $31.4M from February 2015 to May 2024, primarily at the seed stage (four rounds), with one Series A and one Series D. Investments focus on fintech (two), edtech (two), e-commerce and retail (one), and productivity and workspace (one), targeting Kenya (two), Nigeria (two), Egypt (one), and South Africa (one). Backed companies include MNZL Wallet in Egypt, Jumba in Kenya, Foondamate in South Africa, Eden in Nigeria, uLesson in Nigeria, and M-KOPA in Kenya.
