Fintech Fundings: 29 Companies Raise $76 Million Week Ending March 3

money_keyWhile we continued the streak of 20 or more weekly deals (now = 9), we had a sub-$100 million week for the first time this year. The $76 million raised was the lowest total in a non-holiday week since the first week of March a year ago (who knew the 9th week was so slow?).

However, there were 11 deals with undisclosed funding amounts, notably a “double digit millions” D-round for AuxMoney, which had also raised nearly $200 million in previous rounds. So, the weekly total may well have surpassed $100 million.

Nine weeks into 2016, the total raised is $5.4 billion, more than double the $2.4 billion invested during the same period last year. And more telling, the number of deals is up 90% (227 vs. 119 in 2015).

Two Finovate alums raised new cash:
