“A little bit higher on a regular basis?” Can we use that traditional chorus from Lennon & McCarthy to explain the efficiency of fintech firms in search of funding within the second quarter of 2024?
Most broad-based surveys of fintech funding for Q2 2024 have but to be printed. However, for our Finovate alums, “slightly higher” aptly describes the distinction between Q2 of this yr and Q2 of final. Our Finovate alums raised greater than $292 million within the second quarter of this yr, a rise of almost 40% over final yr’s Q2 mark. The accomplishment was accomplished by fewer alums this yr in comparison with final, as nicely.
Earlier quarterly comparisons
Q2 2023: Greater than $209 million raised by 10 alums

Q2 2021: Greater than $2.8 billion raised by 14 alums
Q2 2020: Greater than $975 million raised by 15 alums
That stated, the comparatively low funding ranges of the previous two years are indicative of the broader slowdown in funding that fintechs have been experiencing of late. Once more, we’re wanting ahead to seeing some extra experiences from the sector on fintech funding for the previous few months, writ massive. However, for now, the post-COVID retrenchment in fintech funding continues.
