Buoyed by the $865 million raised in Lending Club’s blockbuster IPO, fintech companies raised $1 billion last week. That was the largest amount since we began tracking in August. Granted, without the IPO, it was a more “normal” $135 million week.
Finovate alums accounted for all but $35 million of the total with Dynamics ($70 million), eToro ($27 million) and BehavioSec ($6 mil) joining Lending Club ($865).
Here are the deals from Dec. 6 to Dec 12:
