“A little bit higher on a regular basis?” Can we use that basic chorus from Lennon & McCarthy to explain the efficiency of fintech corporations in search of funding within the second quarter of 2024?
Most broad-based surveys of fintech funding for Q2 2024 have but to be printed. However, for our Finovate alums, “just a little higher” aptly describes the distinction between Q2 of this yr and Q2 of final. Our Finovate alums raised greater than $292 million within the second quarter of this yr, a rise of practically 40% over final yr’s Q2 mark. The accomplishment was accomplished by fewer alums this yr in comparison with final, as nicely.
Earlier quarterly comparisons

Once more, we’re wanting ahead to seeing some extra studies from the sphere on fintech funding for the previous few months, writ massive. However, for now, the post-COVID retrenchment in fintech funding continues.
