Venture Capital
Morning, Hubsters! How is everyone on this last day of April? We have research this morning from CB Insight, which says first quarter fintech deals fell in most markets. VC-backed fintech around the world raised $6.3 billion across 445 deals, the report said. There are 41 VC-backed fintech unicorns worth a combined $154.1 billion, the report says. Q1 also saw some record M&A deals between payment incumbents. This includes Fiserv's $41 billion buy of First Data in January and FIS’s $43 billion buy of Worldpay in March.
