This Week in Fintech - 33 New Fundraises (10/15)

This Week in Fintech - 33 New Fundraises (10/15)

Hello Fintech Friends,

We had a big day yesterday, announcing the first episode of our second podcast, Beyond Two Percent! Beyond Two Percent analyzes the critical questions, issues, and dynamics that affect people differently by gender - and the intersection of those dynamics with finance. Our guests join our two fabulous hosts, Julie and Helen, every month. Listen here.

The State of European Fintech report predicts a more difficult fundraising environment for fintech, but despite the downturn, Africa’s fintech venture market looks to be set for another record year and we even saw a global uptick last month.

We had some exciting news for the fund and syndicate portfolio this week as well - Payable* picked up €6 million in funding and Astra* raised a $10 million Series A.
