Quarterly record for fintech mega-rounds as Asia beats US for first time: Asia took the top spot with 7 mega-rounds, beating the US for the first time. Early signs of fintech investment spreading to frontier markets: In Africa, VC-backed fintech companies in Q2'18 raised $63M across seven investments, more funding than the last four years combined. 29 fintech unicorns valued at $84.4B: Q2'18 saw five new unicorns births, bringing up the total VC-backed unicorn count to 29 worth a combined $84.4B. Ribbit Capital is the most active fintech unicorn investor, followed by QED Investors. Note: Report focuses on all equity rounds to VC-backed fintech companies. This report does not cover companies funded solely by angels, private equity firms, or any debt, secondary, or line of credit transactions. All data is sourced from CB Insights. Summary of findings Ant Financial's $14B boosts Q2 funding to record $20B: In Q2'18, VC- backed fintech companies raised $20.3B across 383 deals globallynew quarterly records in funding and deals. Excluding Ant's record financing, VC-backed fintech funding still hit a quarterly record at $6.3B, up from $5.6B in Q1'18. Asia could be on track to surpass the US in fintech deals: Asia set a quarterly record with 133 deals, driven by a spike in early-stage deals and a 94% increase in deals in China, which saw 68 deals worth $15.4B. In the US, early-stage deals as percentage of total deals fell to a five-quarter low. Europe saw Q2'18 deals rebound with surge in early-stage deals: The boost in early-stage deals helps explain a dip in funding. Despite a 20% funding decrease from Q1, funding for H1'18 beat H1'17. Europe also minted a unicorn (Revolut) and had two largest exits to date. US remains top market with five-year funding record: Q2'18 saw a slight dip in deals from Q1'18's record, but it was still a quarterly high for funding to US-based fintech companies on the back of six mega-round investments which minted two unicorns (Circle and Tradeshift). 6 Contents 8 Q2'18 Financing Trends Annual Deals & Dollars Regional Trends Fintech Unicorns 63 6 9 Incumbent Fintech Investing Update Appendix: Major markets financing trends M&A and IPO trends 21 Top Deals and Top Investors Q2' 2018 Top VC-Backed Fintech Deals Most Active Fintech Investors Q2'17-Q2'18 Q2'18 Sector Trends 26 7 $20.34 BILLION 383 DEALS G L O B A L F I N T E C H V C -

What is included: What is excluded: Equity financings into emerging fintech companies. Fundings must be put into VC-backed companies, which are defined as companies who have received funding at any point from venture capital firms, corporate venture groups, or super angel investors. Fundings of only private companies. Funding rounds raised by public companies of any kind on any exchange (including Pink Sheets) are excluded from our numbers, even if they received investment by a venture firm(s). Note: For the purposes of this analysis, JD.com's finance arm JD Finance and its $1B financing were included in the data per its investment from Sequoia Capital China in Q1'16. Only includes the investment made in the quarter for tranched investments. If a company does a second closing of its Series B round for $5M and previously had closed $2M in a prior quarter, only the $5M is reflected in our results. Round numbers reflect what has closed not what is intended. If a company indicates the closing of $5M out of a desired raise of $15M, our numbers reflect only the amount which has closed. Only verifiable fundings are included. Fundings are verified via various federal and state regulatory filings, direct confirmation with firm or investor, or press release. Previous quarterly VC reports issued by CBI have exclusively included VC-backed rounds. In this report, any rounds raised by VC-backed companies are included, with the exceptions listed. No contingent funding. If a company receives a commitment for $20M subject to hitting certain milestones but first gets $8M, only the $8M is included in our data. No business development / R&D arrangements, whether transferable into equity now, later, or never. If a company signs a $300M R&D partnership with a larger corporation, this is not equity financing, nor is it from a venture capital firm. As a result, it is not included. No buyouts, consolidations, and/or recapitalizations. All three of these transaction types are commonly employed by private equity firms and are tracked by CB Insights. However, they are excluded for the purposes of this report. No private placements. These investments, also known as PIPEs (Private Investment in Public Equities), are excluded even if made by a venture capital firm(s). No debt / loans of any kind (except convertible notes). Venture debt or any kind of debt / loan issued to emerging startup companies, even if included as an additional part of an equity financing, is not included. If a company receives $3M with $2M from venture investors and $1M in debt, only the $2M is included. No government funding. Grants, loans, or equity financings by the federal government, state agencies, or public-private partnerships to emerging startup companies are not included. 81 The CB Insights platform has the details on all the data included in this report W H E R E I S A L L T H I S D A T A F R O M ?
