🇲🇾PolicyStreetInsurtech

PolicyStreet embeds insurance products for gig workers and SMEs across Asia through partnerships with insurers and takaful providers.

$5MSeries C
B
BlueOrchard
KCA
+1
A $5M Series C for embedded insurance in Southeast Asia signals that insurtech distribution through gig/SME platforms is moving past pilot phase—BlueOrchard's involvement (impact-focused) suggests the unit economics work at scale across multiple countries. You should care if you're building any B2B2C fintech in emerging markets: PolicyStreet's playbook (partner with platforms rather than build direct distribution) is becoming the template, and their success validates that gig workers will adopt financial products if friction is low enough.
G
Guthrie AIFintech

Guthrie AI builds financial intelligence software for institutional investors using AI.

$4MSeed
Investor undisclosed
A $4M seed for institutional fintech AI suggests LPs are still willing to fund narrow, high-conviction plays in finance—but only if the wedge is genuinely defensible (here: financial intelligence at scale). If you're building B2B software for any regulated vertical, watch how Guthrie deploys this capital; the playbook for selling to institutions without a brand is increasingly about embedding into workflows rather than replacing them.
A
AugmodoFintech

Augmodo provides financial infrastructure for emerging markets using AI-driven risk assessment.

$21M
Investor undisclosed
A $21M Series A for emerging-market fintech risk infrastructure signals that investors are betting on AI-driven underwriting as the unlock for credit in underbanked regions—this is less about consumer lending hype and more about B2B plumbing. If you're building in payments, lending, or insurance for emerging markets, this validates that the bottleneck isn't distribution anymore; it's risk modeling at scale, which means your GTM should assume partners will pay for better decisioning rather than you owning the customer.
P
🇺🇰Pixel-FloFintech

Pixel-Flo provides financial workflow automation for businesses using AI-powered process optimization.

$6.7MSeed
Investor undisclosed
A $6.7M seed for financial workflow automation signals that back-office automation is still attracting capital despite the crowded fintech space—likely because the TAM is genuinely large and fragmented. They'll probably burn most of this on sales/GTM to land mid-market customers and build out their AI models for specific workflows (AP, reconciliation, etc.). If you're building any kind of B2B process automation, watch how they position against RPA incumbents and whether they can actually retain customers post-implementation—that's the real moat.
Sprouts.ai logo
🇺🇸Sprouts.aiSME Lending

Sprouts.ai builds AI agents for enterprise revenue teams to identify and convert target customers using customer intelligence and account data.

$9MPre-Series A
T
True Global Ventures
Accel logoK
A $9M pre-Series A for enterprise sales automation signals that AI agents for revenue workflows are moving past proof-of-concept—investors are betting on the unit economics of replacing junior SDRs. If you're building in adjacent workflow automation (customer success, retention, pricing), watch how Sprouts monetizes: land-and-expand on seat count or consumption-based pricing will tell you what actually sticks with enterprise buyers.
H
HakimoSME Lending

Hakimo provides lending solutions for small and medium-sized enterprises.

$12M
Investor undisclosed
A $12M round for SME lending in mid-2026 suggests the market is still hunting for unit economics that work at scale—this isn't a hot category moment, it's a "prove the model" moment. Hakimo likely uses this to expand lending volume and build out underwriting infrastructure (data, automation, collections). If you're building B2B financial products, watch whether they can actually hit positive unit economics; if they do, it validates that the SME credit market has real margin potential.
K
KlinicSME Lending

Klinic provides lending solutions for small and medium-sized enterprises.

$24MSeries A
Investor undisclosed
A $24M Series A for SME lending in mid-2026 suggests the market is still hunting for unit economics that work—this isn't a category explosion, it's selective capital flowing to teams that've proven repayment rates or found a defensible vertical. If you're building in adjacent lending (invoice financing, supply chain capital), watch whether Klinic's use of funds goes toward underwriting tech vs. geographic expansion; that tells you if the bottleneck is still model validation or distribution.
E
EDX MarketsCapital Markets

EDX Markets builds a digital asset trading platform for institutional capital markets participants.

$76MSeries C
Investor undisclosed
A $76M Series C for an institutional crypto trading platform signals that regulated digital asset infrastructure is finally moving past the hype cycle—this money likely funds compliance/custody tooling and market-making capital rather than user acquisition. If you're building B2B fintech plumbing (settlement, clearing, data), watch how EDX structures their institutional onboarding; that playbook is becoming the template for any crypto product that wants to avoid the retail-casino stigma.
L
🇺🇰Luffy AIFinancial Services AI

Luffy AI builds AI-powered financial services tools for enterprises and financial institutions.

$10.3MSeries A
Investor undisclosed
A $10.3M Series A for enterprise fintech AI in mid-2026 suggests the market has moved past chatbot novelty—institutions are now willing to fund AI that touches actual financial workflows and compliance. If you're building B2B AI in regulated spaces, this validates that investors see defensibility in domain-specific models over generic LLMs, and that enterprise sales cycles are finally closing at scale.
K
Katalyze AIFinancial Services for SMEs

Katalyze AI provides financial services and tools for small and medium-sized enterprises.

$10.5MSeed
Investor undisclosed
A $10.5M seed for SME fintech signals investors still believe there's room to build better financial infrastructure for small businesses—likely betting Katalyze can undercut or out-feature incumbents on lending, payments, or accounting. At this stage and size, they're probably building toward a specific pain point (working capital, cash flow forecasting, or embedded finance) rather than a full platform. If you're in vertical SaaS or B2B ops, watch whether they go horizontal (all SMEs) or vertical (specific industry)—that'll tell you if the wedge is the financial problem or the customer type.
Navi logo
🇮🇳NaviLending

Navi offers credit, insurance, and investment products to Indian consumers through its NBFC and partner network.

$250MPre-IPO
Prosus logo
Prosus
A
A $250M pre-IPO round for an Indian NBFC signals that large-cap fintech lending in India has matured enough for public markets—Prosus wouldn't deploy this size without a clear exit path. Navi's likely using this to scale underserved credit products and build out insurance/investment cross-sell before going public, which means they're betting on unit economics that work at scale. If you're building fintech in emerging markets, watch whether Navi's IPO valuation reflects the credit risk premium investors actually demand—it'll reset expectations for the whole category.
A
AddiB2B BNPL

Addi provides buy-now-pay-later financing for businesses in Latin America.

$85MSeries D
Investor undisclosed
An $85M Series D for a regional BNPL player signals that Latin America's B2B fintech infrastructure is still attracting growth capital despite BNPL's consumer-facing struggles—the bet is on embedded financing for SMBs, not consumer wallets. At this stage and check size, Addi is likely scaling underwriting/risk models and expanding merchant coverage across multiple countries, not chasing unit economics. If you're building B2B financial products in emerging markets, watch whether they're hitting unit-level profitability; if they are, it validates that SMB financing (vs. consumer lending) can work at scale in regions with thin credit data.
L
LinqAlphaFintech

LinqAlpha builds financial technology solutions for institutional investors and traders.

$22MSeries A
Investor undisclosed
A $22M Series A for institutional fintech in mid-2026 suggests the market is still hungry for tools that solve real workflow problems for buy-side traders—not another retail app. If you're building B2B infrastructure in adjacent spaces (compliance, risk, data), this validates that institutions will pay for software that saves time or reduces operational friction, even in a crowded market.
O
OXMIQ LabsFintech

OXMIQ Labs builds financial technology solutions for institutional clients.

$35MSeries A
Investor undisclosed
A $35M Series A for an institutional fintech with no disclosed investors or public positioning suggests either a stealth play or a roll-up of existing revenue—either way, the market's still hungry for B2B financial infrastructure that doesn't require consumer distribution. If you're building in adjacent institutional verticals (trading, settlement, compliance), this signals that large checks are flowing to teams that can prove unit economics early, not just TAM stories.
KredosAi logo
KredosAiSME Lending

KredosAi provides lending and financial services to small and medium enterprises.

$7MSeries A
Investor undisclosed
A $7M Series A for SME lending in 2026 suggests the market is still hunting for unit economics that work at scale—most players in this space are still proving they can underwrite profitably without collateral. If you're building in adjacent fintech (payroll, accounting, supply chain finance), watch whether KredosAi's capital goes toward better data infrastructure or just customer acquisition; that tells you if the real moat is underwriting or distribution.
1
1001SME Lending

1001 provides lending solutions for small and medium-sized enterprises.

$30MSeries A
Investor undisclosed
A $30M Series A for SME lending in 2026 signals that unit economics in this space have finally tightened enough to attract institutional capital—likely meaning 1001 has cracked either better underwriting (lower default rates) or faster deployment (higher velocity). They're probably using this to scale origination infrastructure and hire credit/ops talent, not to subsidize rates. If you're building in adjacent lending verticals (invoice financing, supply chain finance), this validates that the market's moved past the "cheap capital" phase—you'll need real risk differentiation to compete.
Taxwire logo
TaxwireTax Technology

Taxwire automates tax compliance and filing for businesses using AI-powered document processing.

$25MSeed and Series A
Investor undisclosed
A $25M seed-to-Series A for tax automation signals that back-office automation is finally hitting escape velocity—investors are betting that AI document processing can crack a category (tax filing) that's been stubbornly manual for decades. The check size suggests they're going after mid-market businesses where compliance costs are high enough to justify switching, which means Taxwire likely needs the capital for sales/ops and model training on messy tax docs. If you're building any workflow automation in regulated spaces (accounting, legal, insurance), watch how they handle the liability/audit trail problem—that's the real moat, not the AI.
Taxwire logo
TaxwireTax Technology

Taxwire automates tax compliance and filing for businesses using AI-powered document processing.

$25MSeries A
H
Headline
A $25M Series A for tax automation signals that back-office automation is finally hitting unit economics that VCs believe in—likely because AI document processing has gotten cheap enough to undercut human preparers at scale. If you're building in adjacent compliance spaces (payroll, audit, regulatory reporting), this validates that enterprises will pay for AI that eliminates manual document work, but you'll need to prove you can handle the liability and edge cases that make tax/compliance sticky.
MDOTM logo
MDOTMFintech

MDOTM provides financial infrastructure and payment solutions for European businesses and consumers.

$27MGrowth Equity
Investor undisclosed
A $27M growth equity check into a mobile-first fintech in mid-2026 suggests investors still believe there's room to scale financial services for underbanked or emerging-market users—but the bar for differentiation is higher than it was five years ago. If you're building in adjacent verticals (payments, lending, insurance), watch whether MDOTM's capital goes toward geographic expansion or product depth; that'll tell you if the play is still land-grab or if it's shifted to unit economics and retention.
Q
🇸🇬QashierMerchant Payments & POS

Qashier builds an all-in-one merchant OS combining payments, POS, inventory, and loyalty tools for Southeast Asian SMEs.

$6.1MSeries A+
C
Cocoon Capital
IBS
A $6.1M Series A+ for a bundled merchant OS in Southeast Asia signals that investors still believe in the vertical stack play—but only if you're solving real operational friction (inventory + loyalty, not just payments). If you're building adjacent to SME workflows (logistics, accounting, supply chain), watch how Qashier monetizes beyond transaction fees; that's where the unit economics either work or don't.
V
🇺🇰VASO GlobalSME Financing

VASO Global provides financing solutions for small and medium-sized enterprises in the UK.

$6.3MVenture
Investor undisclosed
A $6.3M Series A for UK SME financing in mid-2026 signals that lenders are still betting on embedded credit for working capital—likely because traditional bank lending to SMEs remains glacially slow. VASO probably uses this to build out underwriting infrastructure and expand their merchant/platform integrations rather than just burn it on customer acquisition. If you're building any B2B SaaS with recurring revenue, watch how they're structuring repayment terms; that playbook (embedded financing + data-driven decisioning) is becoming table stakes for retention.
PvX Partners logo
🇸🇬PvX PartnersAlternative Financing

PvX Partners finances user acquisition campaigns for mobile games and apps using ML-driven underwriting of marketing spend.

$5MEquity
M
MIT
PGeneral Catalyst logoS
+4
This round signals that ML-driven unit economics modeling for performance marketing is finally fundable at scale—the investors here (GC, Play Ventures) back winners, not experiments. PvX is likely using this to expand beyond gaming into adjacent verticals (SaaS, e-commerce) where CAC prediction is equally broken. If you're building any kind of marketplace or consumer product, watch how they're underwriting spend; their playbook will probably become table stakes for fundraising in 18 months.
J
Jarvie AIFintech

Jarvie AI provides AI-powered financial advisory and wealth management tools for individual investors.

$8.3MSeed
Investor undisclosed
An $8.3M seed for retail wealth tech signals investors still believe there's a wedge to crack between robo-advisors and human advisors—likely betting on AI that actually reduces friction for self-directed investors rather than replacing them entirely. Jarvie's probably burning this on product-market fit across compliance, UX, and maybe some early distribution partnerships. If you're building in adjacent fintech (tax optimization, portfolio rebalancing, financial planning), watch whether they go horizontal (more investor types) or vertical (specific wealth segments)—that'll tell you where the real defensibility is.
Straiker logo
StraikerFintech

Straiker builds embedded financial services for e-commerce and SaaS platforms.

$64MSeries A
Investor undisclosed
A $64M Series A for embedded fintech signals that platforms are finally willing to pay for financial rails rather than bolt them on themselves—the unit economics work now. Straiker likely uses this to build out payment processing, lending, or working capital products that live inside their customers' dashboards. If you're building any kind of workflow software (HR, ops, supply chain), this validates that embedding a financial product is a viable revenue stream, not just a nice-to-have.
Airwallex logo
🇦🇺AirwallexCross-border Payments & Financial Infrastructure

Airwallex builds cross-border payments and financial infrastructure for global businesses using AI-driven automation.

$320M
Investor undisclosed
A $320M round for cross-border payments in mid-2026 signals that the category is still attracting mega-checks despite macro headwinds—likely because AI automation is finally making unit economics work at scale. Airwallex is probably using this to expand into adjacent financial services (lending, treasury) and geographic markets where they can leverage their automation moat. If you're building any B2B infrastructure that touches international transactions or multi-currency operations, watch how they're positioning AI as a cost-reduction play rather than a feature—that's the narrative that's actually moving capital right now.

$320MSeries H
A
Addition
Baillie Gifford logoHQED Investors logo
+5
A $320M Series H for cross-border payments signals that late-stage fintech is still finding mega-rounds despite macro headwinds—but the bar is now execution + profitability, not just TAM. Airwallex is likely using this to expand into adjacent verticals (embedded finance, FX hedging) and build out AI-driven underwriting to compete with Stripe and Wise at scale. If you're building B2B financial infrastructure, watch how they're positioning AI automation as the moat; that's becoming table stakes for the next wave of founders.
T
TraseFintech

Trase provides financial infrastructure and payment solutions for emerging markets.

$107MSeed
Investor undisclosed
A $107M seed round for emerging-market fintech is absurdly large—this signals either (1) a pre-existing revenue base that justified mega-seed pricing, or (2) investors betting hard that payment rails in frontier markets are finally unbundling from legacy players. At this check size, Trase is likely building horizontal infrastructure (APIs, settlement, FX rails) rather than a consumer app, which means they're burning cash on compliance, banking partnerships, and geographic expansion simultaneously. If you're building B2B SaaS in LatAm or Southeast Asia, watch whether they actually achieve unit economics across multiple countries—that's the real moat, not the funding.
S
SazabiFintech

Sazabi provides financial services and solutions for emerging markets.

$8MSeed
Investor undisclosed
An $8M seed for emerging-market fintech signals investors still believe there's room for new entrants in underbanked regions, though the bar is clearly higher than 2021—you need either a specific vertical wedge or distribution moat to get this check. If you're building B2B infrastructure (payments, lending, compliance rails), watch whether Sazabi goes horizontal or stays vertical; that'll tell you if the market rewards generalist platforms or specialists in EM fintech right now.
U
UpsideFintech

Upside provides financial services and tools for underserved customers.

$20MSeries A
Investor undisclosed
A $20M Series A for underserved fintech in mid-2026 suggests the market still believes there's room to build consumer financial products for non-prime segments—but the bar for differentiation is higher than it was five years ago. Upside likely uses this to scale distribution (probably mobile-first, probably partnerships with employers or platforms) and build out compliance/risk infrastructure that actually works at scale. If you're building in adjacent consumer verticals (earned wage access, alternative credit, gig economy tools), watch whether Upside can actually retain customers profitably—that's the real test the market is running.

Float Financial provides financial services and working capital solutions for small and medium-sized enterprises.

TaktileSME LendingVerified

Taktile provides lending infrastructure for SMEs, enabling faster access to capital through automated underwriting and risk assessment.

$110MSeries C
G
Goldman Sachs
Goldman Sachs leading a $110M Series C for SME lending infra signals institutional capital is finally comfortable with automated underwriting at scale—the regulatory/fraud risk calculus has shifted. Taktile's likely spending this on distribution (bank partnerships, embedded lending) and building out their risk models for different verticals. If you're building any B2B financial product, watch how they're positioning embedded lending as a channel—that playbook is about to get copied across payroll, invoicing, and supply chain.
Runlayer logo
RunlayerFintechVerified

Runlayer builds financial infrastructure for embedded payments and commerce workflows.

$30MSeries A
Khosla Ventures logo
Khosla Ventures
Khosla betting $30M on embedded payments infrastructure signals that the 'payments as a feature' thesis is moving from hype to infrastructure layer—companies are past the POC phase and need production-grade rails. Runlayer is likely using this to build out compliance/settlement tooling and expand their API surface to handle higher transaction volumes across verticals. If you're building any workflow that touches money (marketplace, SaaS with billing, logistics), this matters because the cost and complexity of bolting on payments is about to drop significantly.
Allium logo
AlliumFintech

Allium provides blockchain data infrastructure and analytics for crypto traders and institutions.

$40MSeries B
Investor undisclosed
A $40M Series B for blockchain data infrastructure signals that institutional crypto adoption is moving past hype—these buyers need reliable, auditable data layers to operate at scale. If you're building any fintech or compliance tool touching crypto, Allium's funding validates that the infrastructure play (not the trading app) is where capital flows when the market matures.
Partly logo
PartlyB2B BNPLVerified

Partly provides buy-now-pay-later financing for B2B purchases, enabling businesses to manage cash flow.

$50MSeries B
DST Global logo
DST Global
A $50M Series B for dealer management software signals that SMB vertical SaaS is still fundable if you've proven unit economics and land-and-expand motion—used car dealers are fragmented, sticky, and have real margin to pay for software. If you're building for any fragmented service business (HVAC, plumbing, salons), this validates that the playbook works; the question is whether your vertical has enough pricing power and repeat revenue to justify the CAC.
Ladder Health logo
Ladder HealthHealthcare Finance

Ladder Health provides financial solutions for healthcare providers and patients to manage medical costs and payments.

$7MSeed
Investor undisclosed
A $7M seed for healthcare fintech signals that payment friction between providers and patients is finally attracting capital—likely because insurance reimbursement delays and out-of-pocket complexity are now seen as a solvable B2B2C problem. Ladder's probably building embedded lending or payment plans for provider workflows, which means they're betting on capturing the transaction layer rather than replacing insurance. If you're in adjacent healthcare ops (scheduling, billing, claims), this validates that providers will integrate financial tools if they reduce admin burden and cash flow volatility.
Probook logo
ProbookFintech

Probook builds AI-powered financial management software for small businesses and accountants.

$40MSeed and Series A
Investor undisclosed
A $40M seed-to-Series A for accounting software signals that SMB financial ops are finally seen as defensible enough to justify venture scale—likely because AI can now automate the grunt work (reconciliation, categorization) that made these products sticky but not valuable. If you're building any workflow automation for SMBs, watch whether Probook's next move is horizontal (expanding into payroll/tax) or vertical (going deeper with accountants as the distribution channel); that'll tell you if the real moat is the AI engine or the relationship.
equipal logo
🇺🇰equipalSME Lending

Equipal provides invoice financing and working capital solutions for SMEs in the sports and leisure sector.

$20.6M
Investor undisclosed
A $20.6M Series B for SME invoice financing in sports/leisure signals that niche vertical fintech is still fundable if you can prove unit economics in a defensible segment—but the bar is higher than 2021. Equipal's likely using this to scale underwriting automation and geographic expansion rather than burn cash on customer acquisition. If you're building fintech for fragmented industries (hospitality, construction, creative services), watch how they handle churn and whether they can actually make money on 5-10% of SME invoices.
CRED logo
🇮🇳CREDCredit & Payments

CRED rewards creditworthy users with a fintech platform for bill payments, lending, insurance, and wealth management.

$900MSeries H
M
Meta
Meta's $900M bet on CRED signals that consumer fintech in India is now a platform play, not just a payments layer—they're betting on the flywheel of credit data + engagement. At Series H, this money is almost certainly going toward lending products and wealth management to deepen wallet share, not customer acquisition. If you're building in emerging-market fintech, this validates that the real margin is in moving users up the financial services stack, not staying horizontal.
Isometric logo
IsometricFintechVerified

Isometric builds financial infrastructure for digital assets and blockchain applications.

$40MSeries A
A
AVP
A $40M Series A for blockchain infrastructure in mid-2026 suggests the market is betting on a specific DeFi use case or regulatory clarity that wasn't there 18 months ago—this isn't hype money, it's conviction capital. Isometric likely uses this to scale their core SDK/API, hire engineering depth, and land enterprise customers (probably traditional finance dipping into on-chain settlement). If you're building any kind of financial plumbing—even Web2—watch what compliance and custody problems they're solving; that's where the next wave of infrastructure plays will copy from.
CRED logo
🇮🇳CREDCredit & Payments

CRED rewards creditworthy users with a fintech platform for bill payments, lending, insurance, and wealth management.

$900MStrategic
M
Meta
Meta's $900M strategic bet on CRED signals that consumer fintech in India is now a platform play, not just a payments layer—they're betting on embedded financial services as a retention moat. CRED will likely use this to expand lending and wealth products beyond bill payments, and to build out the infrastructure for Meta's own financial ambitions in India. If you're building in emerging-market fintech, watch how CRED uses this to cross-sell: the playbook for converting a single-use app into a financial OS is about to get a lot clearer.
Andera logo
AnderaFintech

Andera builds institutional-grade investment infrastructure for emerging market opportunities.

$37MSeries A
Investor undisclosed
A $37M Series A for emerging market infrastructure suggests LPs are finally willing to fund the plumbing layer—not just consumer apps chasing EM growth. This is a bet that institutional capital wants better tooling to access these markets, which means the category is moving from "frontier" to "operational necessity." If you're building any cross-border or EM-adjacent fintech, watch whether Andera's customers are banks, funds, or platforms—that tells you who actually has budget right now.
Gradial logo
GradialFintechVerified

Gradial provides financial infrastructure and services for emerging markets.

$65MSeries C
Insight Partners logo
Insight Partners
A $65M Series C for emerging-market fintech infrastructure signals that the category has moved past product-market fit into operational scaling—likely means Gradial is now building out compliance, payment rails, and regional expansion rather than proving core demand. If you're building B2B SaaS for emerging markets, this validates that investors will fund the unglamorous infrastructure layer if unit economics work; watch whether they're raising this size to go horizontal (more countries) or vertical (deeper into banking/lending).
Verse logo
VerseFintech

Verse builds financial infrastructure for emerging markets, enabling seamless cross-border payments and digital banking.

$54MSeries B
Investor undisclosed
A $54M Series B for emerging-market fintech in mid-2026 signals that cross-border rails are still underinvested—especially outside the saturated remittance lane. Verse is likely using this to build out compliance/licensing in 3-5 new countries and scale transaction volume to unit economics. If you're building any B2B service that touches EM customers (logistics, SaaS, marketplace), watch how Verse's payment rails evolve—they'll either become your cheapest settlement layer or force you to build your own.

🇮🇳National Stock Exchange of IndiaStock Exchange

NSE operates India's leading stock exchange, providing trading and settlement infrastructure for equities, derivatives, and securities.

$2.6BIPO
Investor undisclosed
NSE's $2.6B IPO signals India's financial infrastructure is finally getting institutional capital—the exchange itself going public is a rare vote of confidence in domestic market depth and regulatory maturity. If you're building fintech in India, this means the plumbing layer is solidifying, which typically unlocks a wave of downstream apps (trading platforms, wealth tech, derivatives tools) that can now assume stable, scalable infrastructure. Watch whether NSE's public status accelerates retail participation metrics—that's your real signal for whether consumer fintech can scale here.
NeuralTrust logo
NeuralTrustFintech

NeuralTrust builds AI-powered fraud detection and risk management for financial institutions.

$20MSeed
Investor undisclosed
A $20M seed for fraud detection signals banks are finally willing to pay for AI that actually reduces losses rather than just flags alerts—the ROI math works now. They're likely burning this on sales/implementation (fraud teams are slow to adopt) and building out vertical-specific models, since one-size-fits-all detection fails at scale. If you're building any compliance or risk product for financial services, watch how NeuralTrust positions against legacy vendors; that's your playbook for displacing entrenched software.
Soource logo
SoourceFintech

Soource provides financial infrastructure for emerging markets to access global trade financing.

$3.3MSeed
Investor undisclosed
Trade finance for emerging markets is getting real funding again after years of neglect—this suggests VCs see a genuine gap between where global supply chains actually operate and where capital flows. At $3.3M seed, Soource is probably building the rails (API, KYC, settlement) to let SMEs in EM access financing that currently requires flying to Singapore or Dubai. If you're building B2B infrastructure in any EM vertical, watch whether they can actually move capital across borders faster than the incumbents—that's the real moat.
Flagright logo

Flagright builds AI-powered compliance software for financial institutions to detect and investigate money laundering and financial crime.

$12.5MSeries A
I
Infinity Ventures
SFY Combinator logo
A $12.5M Series A for compliance automation signals that banks are finally willing to pay for software that actually reduces their manual review workload—not just ticks a regulatory box. At this stage and size, Flagright is likely building out horizontal coverage (more transaction types, geographies, rule engines) and landing larger enterprise customers. If you're building any B2B2C fintech, watch how they're positioning to banks: the compliance layer is becoming table stakes, and whoever owns the integration point with legacy systems owns the relationship.
Checkout.com logo
🇺🇰Checkout.comPayments

Checkout.com provides payment processing and checkout infrastructure for merchants globally.

$1BSeries D
Investor undisclosed
A $1B Series D for payments infrastructure signals that the mega-round era for fintech is back—but only for companies with proven unit economics and global scale. Checkout.com is likely using this to expand into underserved regions and build out vertical-specific solutions (e.g., crypto, marketplaces) rather than just compete on core processing. If you're building any B2B SaaS that touches transactions, this validates that payment rails are still a bottleneck worth solving—but you'll need to show defensibility beyond just being cheaper than Stripe.
Conduct logo
ConductFintechVerified

Conduct provides financial compliance and risk management infrastructure for regulated institutions.

$60MSeries A
Index Ventures logo
Index Ventures
A $60M Series A for compliance infrastructure signals that regulated institutions are finally willing to pay for purpose-built tooling instead than duct-taping legacy systems—this is less about fintech hype and more about operational necessity as regulatory complexity compounds. Conduct is likely building out horizontal coverage (probably expanding from one compliance domain into 3-4 others) and hiring sales to land at mid-market banks and fintechs. If you're building any B2B product touching regulated verticals, this validates that compliance isn't a feature tax—it's a standalone business with real unit economics.

BDS
+7
A $3.1M pre-seed for wealth management in India signals investor conviction that HNWIs there are ready to move off spreadsheets and family advisors—tax optimization and succession planning are the wedge. If you're building fintech for India's emerging affluent (lending, investing, insurance), watch how CREST structures their TAM; they're essentially validating that this cohort will pay for software, not just products.
Razorpay logo
🇮🇳RazorpayPayments

Razorpay builds a payments and financial services platform for Indian businesses to accept, process, and manage transactions.

$600MIPO
Investor undisclosed
A $600M IPO for an Indian payments platform signals that venture-scale fintech exits are finally happening in India—this isn't a unicorn sitting in limbo anymore. Razorpay likely used the capital to build out lending, invoicing, and embedded finance products beyond core payments, which is the playbook for payments companies to escape commoditization. If you're building B2B infrastructure in emerging markets, watch how they're pricing and bundling services post-IPO; that's your template for defensibility.
Ant International logo
🇨🇳Ant InternationalCross-border Payments

Ant International enables cross-border payments and financial services for businesses and individuals globally.

$10B
Investor undisclosed
A $10B round for cross-border payments in 2026 signals that regulatory clarity around stablecoins and remittance rails has finally unlocked institutional capital—this isn't a Series A, it's a mega-round suggesting Ant is either going public or consolidating market dominance. If you're building in embedded finance or B2B payments, watch whether they're using this to acquire distribution (SME networks, banking partnerships) or build proprietary rails; that tells you whether the moat is still network effects or shifting to infrastructure.
Chptr logo
ChptrFintech

Chptr builds financial infrastructure for homeowners to access equity in their properties.

$5.5MSeries A
Investor undisclosed
Home equity access is heating up again—this round suggests investors believe the regulatory/lending environment is finally stable enough for non-traditional players to compete with HELOCs. At $5.5M Series A, Chptr is likely building out underwriting automation and lender partnerships rather than holding balance sheet risk themselves. If you're in embedded finance or consumer lending, watch how they solve the appraisal/verification bottleneck—that's the actual moat here, not the UI.
Turnout logo
TurnoutFintech

Turnout builds political fundraising and compliance infrastructure for Democratic candidates and causes.

$35MSeries A
Investor undisclosed
A $35M Series A for political fundraising infra signals Democrats are finally treating tech stack modernization as a competitive advantage—this isn't a hot category, it's a structural gap being filled. Turnout likely uses this to build out compliance automation and payment rails that candidates currently cobble together from 5+ vendors. If you're building B2B fintech for regulated verticals (healthcare billing, legal ops, etc.), watch how they solve the compliance-speed tradeoff—that playbook transfers directly.
Leaf logo
LeafFintech

Leaf provides financial services for coffee farmers, enabling them to access credit and manage cash flow.

$13MSeries B
Investor undisclosed
A $13M Series B for agricultural fintech in 2026 signals that climate-adjacent supply chain financing is finally getting real capital—not just ESG theater. Leaf is almost certainly using this to scale lending volume and build out their underwriting infrastructure (likely leaning on satellite data or transaction history instead of traditional collateral). If you're building in emerging-market B2B fintech, this validates that investors will fund the unglamorous plumbing: the boring, high-touch credit products that actually move cash for smallholder producers.
Current logo
CurrentFintech

Current Health provides digital health monitoring and remote patient management for healthcare providers and payers.

$80MSeries E
Investor undisclosed
An $80M Series E for RPM software signals payers are finally willing to fund at scale—this isn't early-stage conviction, it's capital flowing to proven unit economics. Current likely uses this to expand into adjacent verticals (behavioral health, post-acute care) and build out their data moat rather than just chase volume. If you're building any B2B2C health tool, watch whether they're acquiring customers through payer relationships or direct-to-provider; that distribution model is becoming the real defensibility.
TurnUp logo
TurnUpFintech

TurnUp provides hosting infrastructure for fintech companies to deploy and scale their applications.

$2.2MSeed
Investor undisclosed
A $2.2M seed for fintech infrastructure suggests investors still believe there's room for specialized hosting layers—likely because compliance + latency requirements make generic cloud inadequate for this use case. If you're building any regulated vertical (lending, payments, trading), this signals that infrastructure plays targeting your specific constraints can get funded, which means there's probably a wedge for you too.
Enlaye logo
EnlayeFintech

Enlaye provides financial infrastructure and payment solutions for businesses.

$5MSeed
Investor undisclosed
A $5M seed for fintech infrastructure in mid-2026 suggests the market is still hungry for vertical-specific payment rails, but the bar for undisclosed backing means this is either a known operator with quiet LPs or a geographic play outside the US hype cycle. At this stage and size, Enlaye is probably building embedded payment APIs for a specific vertical or region—watch if they're solving for SMB underbanking or B2B settlement, because that's where the real margin is. If you're building in logistics, SaaS, or marketplace infrastructure, this validates that payment customization (not just Stripe integration) is worth funding.
Billables AI logo
Billables AIFinancial Operations

Billables AI automates financial operations and billing workflows for B2B companies using AI.

$10.2MSeries A
Investor undisclosed
A $10.2M Series A for billing automation signals that back-office automation is finally moving past hype—companies are willing to fund it when it directly reduces headcount or accelerates cash collection. At this stage and size, Billables is likely hiring sales/CS hard and building vertical-specific templates to prove unit economics. If you're building any workflow automation in finance or ops, watch how they position ROI (days-to-payback vs. feature count)—that's becoming table stakes for enterprise deals.
WealthReach logo
WealthReachFintech

WealthReach provides wealth management and financial advisory services for individuals and families.

$1MSeed
Investor undisclosed
A $1M seed for a wealth management platform in mid-2026 suggests the market still believes there's room for vertical-specific advisory tools, but the modest check size hints investors are cautious about consumer fintech unit economics. If you're building in financial services, watch whether WealthReach's go-to-market is B2C direct or B2B2C through advisors—that choice will tell you which distribution model LPs are actually funding right now.
Record OS logo
Record OSAccounting & Tax

Record OS builds AI-powered accounting and tax software for small businesses and accountants.

$2MPre-Seed
E
Episode 1
A $2M pre-seed for accounting automation signals that investors still see margin in the compliance layer—but only if you can actually reduce accountant time, not just digitize paperwork. If you're building in adjacent back-office workflows (payroll, expense management, audit prep), watch whether Record OS can prove unit economics that justify the AI spend; if they can't, it's a warning that the category needs either 10x efficiency gains or a different pricing model to work.
Trustap logo
TrustapSME Lending

Trustap provides digital lending solutions for small and medium enterprises using alternative data and AI.

$10M
Investor undisclosed
A $10M round for SME lending on alternative data signals that underwriting automation is finally moving past the hype phase—lenders are willing to bet real capital on non-traditional credit signals. If you're building in adjacent fintech (payroll, invoicing, supply chain), this validates that your operational data is becoming a legitimate collateral substitute, which means you should be thinking about how to monetize that data layer early.
Capsa AI logo
Capsa AIFintech

Capsa AI provides AI-powered compliance and risk management solutions for financial institutions.

$18MSeries A
Investor undisclosed
An $18M Series A for compliance automation signals that banks are finally willing to pay for AI that reduces regulatory headache rather than just revenue upside—the boring stuff actually has venture legs now. Capsa's likely burning this on sales to mid-market banks and building out vertical-specific compliance modules (AML, KYC, etc.) rather than horizontal AI. If you're building any regulated product (healthcare, lending, insurance), this validates that compliance-as-a-service is a real wedge to land enterprise customers who are risk-averse but budget-constrained.
Jedify logo
JedifyFintech

Jedify builds financial infrastructure for emerging markets to enable seamless cross-border payments and remittances.

$24MSeries A
Investor undisclosed
A $24M Series A for cross-border payments in emerging markets signals that remittance corridors are finally attracting serious capital again—likely because unit economics work at scale now (lower fraud, better rails). Jedify probably uses this to expand into 3-5 new corridors and build out compliance/KYC infrastructure, which is the real moat at this stage. If you're building any B2B2C financial product in emerging markets, watch whether they're winning on speed or cost—that tells you which friction point the market actually cares about.
C
Corca ResearchFintech

Corca Research provides financial research and analysis tools for institutional investors.

$7.8M
Investor undisclosed
A $7.8M Series A for institutional research tools signals that LPs are still willing to fund fintech infrastructure plays, but only if they solve a real workflow problem—not just repackage Bloomberg. Corca's likely spending this on sales/distribution to tier-2 asset managers and building proprietary data moats. If you're building B2B tools for knowledge workers, watch how they position against incumbents; the playbook for displacing entrenched software is narrower than it looks.
Stepful logo
StepfulFintech

Stepful offers income-share agreements to fund vocational training programs, helping students pay for education through future earnings.

$55MSeries C
Investor undisclosed
A $55M Series C for income-share agreements signals that alternative financing for skills training is moving from niche to infrastructure—lenders are now confident enough in repayment models to deploy serious capital. Stepful likely uses this to expand program partnerships, build out underwriting tech, and scale geographic reach. If you're building in workforce development, upskilling, or even consumer lending, watch how they're solving the unit economics of lower-income borrowers—that playbook applies everywhere capital is chasing non-traditional credit.
Vinyl Equity logo
Vinyl EquitySME Financing

Vinyl Equity provides alternative financing solutions for small and medium-sized enterprises through equity-based instruments.

$20MSeries A
Investor undisclosed
A $20M Series A for SME equity financing suggests the market is finally moving past revenue-based financing as the default alternative to debt—equity instruments for small businesses are harder to underwrite but higher-margin if you get the unit economics right. If you're building in embedded finance or vertical lending, watch whether Vinyl can actually scale underwriting without blowing up their loss ratios; that's the real moat here, not the product.
Upriver logo
UpriverFintech

Upriver builds financial operations software for mid-market companies to automate cash management and payments.

$14MSeed
Investor undisclosed
A $14M seed for mid-market cash management signals that buyers are finally willing to pay for automation beyond basic accounting—the category's been stuck in Excel hell longer than most. At this stage and size, they're likely building out the core product and hiring sales to prove land-and-expand motion works with CFOs. If you're building any B2B workflow software for finance teams, watch how Upriver positions against legacy treasury platforms; that positioning playbook will matter when you're selling to the same buyer.
