PR SHOULD GROW YOUR BUSINESS NOT JUST GET YOUR NAME IN THE PAPER STATE OF THE FINTECH FUNDING LANDSCAPE A Resource Guide [email protected] | www.leverage-pr.com | 512-502-5833 1 In the last four years, venture capital investment in FinTech startups has swelled more than 600 percent, and this year funding levels are on the trajectory to—once again—hit record highs, with the sector predicted to overreach last year’s total by more than 36 percent. Poised to dramatically reshape the consumer’s financial experience by implementing new, game-changing business models, FinTech startups in the US have successfully raised more than $8 billion in venture capital funding this year so far. According to The Pulse of FinTech, a joint report by KPMG and CBInsights, a bulk of the VC funding has come via investments from banks and corporations aiming to propel their own internal innovations and their capacity to go head-to-head against FinTech startups perforating the market. For banks and financial institutions operating in this era of disruptive technology, and with levels of consumer trust in traditional financial services faltering, collaborating with and forging alliances with FinTech startups is the only way to ensure that objectives continue to be met and their growth perseveres. The FinTech funding trends illustrated in the first two quarters of 2016 demonstrate a decrease in focus on payments startups due to market saturation, and an increase of interest in both robo advisory and insurance tech startups worldwide. Additionally, despite the United States hosting the largest number of venture capital funding deals, in the global race to fund FinTech, Asia has taken a significant lead, with average funding per deal valued at $34.6 million.
