THEY WROTE FINTECH OFF, BUT FINTECH DIDN'T WRITE BACK (TWIF 7/15)

NIK MILANOVIĆ

Hello Fintech Friends,

Is fintech coming back? 

Our collection of fundraises over the last two weeks counts 33 new fintech
companies, including:

 * An NFT lending startup (!)
 * Startups from all over the US, Brazil, France, India, Singapore, Switzerland,
   and South Korea.
 * 22 rounds of $10 million or less, signaling rising interest in early-stage
   teams.

You’d be forgiven for thinking that the fintech funding market is recovering...

..which, by the way, is something that we discuss in our Signals Q2 overview,
Every fintech will be an AI company. Check out the distribution of funding
rounds in Q2 vs. Q1, and more here:

And if you’ve ever wondered what is happening across the pond (no, that pond) in
China’s fintech market, you should subscribe to Ning’s great This Month in
Fintech - China:

Please find another week of fintech financing events below. (PS: Have feedback
for us? 👍👎 Let us know!)

If you’re an early-stage startup founder raising equity or debt, we may be able
to help - come check out our fund, The Fintech Fund (including a link to pitch
us). Are you a fintech angel investor? Come join our syndicate.
