The TL;DR Live: The State of Fintech

Fintech funding tumbled 18% from Q4’21 to Q1’22. That hasn’t happened since 2018.

Mega-rounds also hit a four-quarter low in Q1’22 at 75 total.

On the plus side, however, unicorns continued to be born at a steady rate and deal rate in Africa reached its highest level ever, and 4 out of the top 6 fintech investors were not VCs.

Learn all about these trends, who the top fintech investors were, and much more in our State of Fintech webinar.
