It was a short week in the United States with many on holiday Thursday and Friday, so U.S.-based activity was slowed. But the rest of the world more than made up for it. Of the total $167 million raised ($152 million equity, $15 million debt), only $28 million (17%), was to US-based companies. And most of that ($25 million) was to Finovate alums Kensho ($15 million) and Narrative Sciences ($10 million). Another alum (from the first Finovate back in 2007), Monitise, scored $77 million from strategic investors, Santander, MasterCard and Telefonica.
