Key Highlights:
- Total dollar volume for FinTech deal activity across M&A, private company financings, and IPOs increased 3x compared to Q1 2023, heavily skewed by Capital One's pending $35 billion acquisition of Discover, the fourth largest FinTech M&A deal ever.
- When excluding the mega-merger, volume still represented a nearly 2x increase over the year-ago-period, as M&A volume was further boosted by ten more $1 billion+ M&A deals, up from just two deals of this size announced in last year's Q1.
- Conversely, private company funding volume fell to the lowest quarterly level in six years – since Q1 2018 – declining 19% year-over-year, when excluding Stripe's $6.9 billion Series I in March of 2023.
- Despite the substantial drop in funding volume, bright spots in private company financing activity shone through – the number of capital raises increased both sequentially and year-over-year, recording 945 new deals and the Crypto & Blockchain sector reached a new record for quarterly deal count.
- Further, the median size of FinTech company valuations increased overall, with all-time highs for Seed ($20 million) and Series A ($57 million) rounds, in particular.
