Hello Fintech Friends,

🏙️🌴PSA: We’ve received 62 applications for our Dubai and Abu Dhabi Fintech Trek in December! We will start sending out invitations to attendees next week, but in the meantime, we would love to get a few more applications from people from diverse and traditionally underrepresented backgrounds at https://thisweekinfintech.com/treks

I started this week thinking, hmm, we may actually have a slow venture week. And how wrong I was; 38 new fintech rounds announced and counting. The market is healthy.

Please find another week of fintech financing events below.

If you’re an early-stage startup founder raising equity or debt, we may be able to help - come check out our fund, The Fintech Fund (including a link to pitch us) and see our primer on how we make introductions to friendly VCs and debt providers.
