For the second week in a row, the number of deals reported, 38, was just one below the weekly record. In all, fintech companies worldwide raised $222 million the second week of June. Nine deals were for undisclosed sums and $500,000 was reported as debt, although two were convertible notes. There was an odd cluster of fundings around the $2 million mark with 10 of the 29 deals (with known amounts) landing between $1.8 and $2.5 million.
Five Finovate alums combined to raise nearly $100 million, 42% of the week’s total:
- Tradeshift received a $75 million Series D giving the trade platform a $500 million valuation
- CrowdFlower tapped Microsoft to lead a $10 million round to further its big data analytics
- Bento for Business landed $7 million for its digital business banking platform
- Buzz Points grabbed $1.8 million for its credit- and debit-card loyalty program
- Alpha Payments Cloud joined Wells Fargo’s latest accelerator class, receiving an equity infusion of $50,000 to $500,000
The total number of deals YTD stands at 627, nearly double last year’s 321. Total dollars raised YTD is now $16.4 billion, more than twice the $7.5 billion raised during the same period a year ago.
