Things are moving again: In the first half of 2024, the fintech financing volume in Germany rose again and after just six months is already at the level of the entire previous year. Last year was still a lull; according to a study by the digital association Bitkom, German fintechs raised the equivalent of 730 million euros in 2023, around 80 percent less than in 2021. This is due, among other things, to the fact that investors nowadays are increasingly focusing on profits rather than purely on the growth of startups. But now investors are becoming active again. The largest financing rounds were completed by the lending-as-a-service provider Finmid, the insurance startup Wefox and the Munich scale-up Neoshare, among others.
In April 2024, Finmid announced seed financing of 35 million euros. Blossom Capital, Earlybird VC and N26 founder Max Tayenthal, among others, participated. The struggling insurance startup Wefox received financing of 25 million euros in the second quarter. The fintech Neoshare, which offers software-as-a-service solutions for project and real estate financing, received growth financing of 19 million euros.
