European fintech growth funding rounds have almost halved
European fintech startups are raising fewer growth-stage rounds than they were a year ago.
The decline involves Series B and C rounds, which companies typically seek as they grow beyond early-stage funding.
The number of startups raising these rounds has almost halved over the past year.
Investors are increasingly directing their money to a handful of standout companies instead of spreading it across more startups.
This makes it harder for many European fintech companies to secure funding for expansion.
