☆ SumUp, a rival to Jack Dorsey's Block, defies fintech funding slump with $307 million cash injection
  + stars: | 2023-12-11 | by ( Ryan Browne | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
SumUp Chief Financial Officer Hermione McKee said the fresh capital gives the company "more firepower to act on opportunities," including acquisitions and new country launches. British payments startup SumUp, known for its small card readers, on Monday announced it has raised 285 million euros ($306.6 million) in a bumper round of funding that values the company north of $8.6 billion. The round predominantly consisted of equity, though a small portion of the funds was raised as debt. Then we look at Asia, how do we think about that region, and then obviously opportunities across Africa. A SumUp spokesperson confirmed the deal is an up round, meaning its valuation is higher than it was previously.

☆ Fin Capital has become the most prolific fintech investor in the world. Behind the scenes, there's been a phishing attack, whistleblower complaints, and a wave of exits.

It was August 2021, during the waning months of the frothy startup bull market, and Fin Capital was on the ascent. The message was a phishing attack — Fin Capital had been hacked. But there is dispute over how Fin Capital handled the attack and its aftermath. Still, as other firms have sharply pulled back on investing in the downturn, Fin Capital has done the opposite. It's unclear whether the whistleblower complaints that former Fin Capital employees filed with the SEC are being investigated.

☆ The SVB fallout has been a wake up call for startup founders. Many are rethinking their VC relationships: 'There's certain people I wouldn't want to take money from now.'

Startup founders are wary of some VCs after their actions during the SVB crisis. Some founders were disheartened by investor advice on what to do with their money in SVB. "There's certain people I wouldn't want to take money from now," Sami Khan, cofounder and CEO of mobile games company Atlas Reality told Insider. He adds that it's difficult to blame people, both investors and founders, for the decisions they make in fast-moving situations. Without access to the dependable venture debt SVB offered, more founders may be forced to turn to dilutive venture capital for financing instead.

And higher yields and scope for growth are spurring new projects, market players say.
