The third quarter results are in and it’s good news for the fintech sector. With $3.3 billion raised, $1 billion more than any other sector, fintech retained its first place for 2024.

The news arrives via Dealroom UK Q3 Innovation Updatewhich shows that even though investment in UK startups slowed over the summer, UK startups still ordered $2.9 billion in new capital in the third quarter, with the largest share raised in equity rounds. table of series B and C.

So far, UK investment in 2024 is following a similar trajectory to 2023. And indicators show UK-based venture capital firms are expected to surpass the previous record of $11.5 billion raised during the bumper year of 2021, raising $12.2 billion in new funds by the end. of 2024.

5 UK Jobs to Apply for Today

  • Head of Financial Business Intelligence, NatWest, Edinburgh
  • Senior Product Manager, Epsilon, Epsom
  • Principal Engineer, Ripple Labs, London
  • Senior Data Engineer, Leidos, Farnborough
  • Associate Director/Director of Economic Consulting, Grant Thornton, South East London

Once again, the UK is doing well compared to neighboring countries. In fact, UK startups have raised almost as much venture capital in 2024 as France and Germany combined.

From Q1 to Q3, UK startups raised $12.4 billion in venture capital, while over the same period Germany and France secured $6.7 billion and $6.5 billion respectively. dollars. London alone has raised more than any other country, with an investment of $8.7 billion this year so far.

Big winners

There was plenty of good economic news to celebrate in the third quarter.

London-based femtech company Flo has become Europe’s first femtech unicorn after raising $200 million in the largest fundraising round for a UK startup.

The next largest was $120 million for fintech Cloudpay in August, while London-based Form3 secured a $60 million Series C round last month.

Other top sectors were biotechnology, which had more than three funding rounds of over £90 million, digital health, quantum computing and AI chatbots.

As fintech continues to reign as the most funded overall sector in the UK in 2024, it is interesting to note that in second place, at $1 billion behind fintech’s £3.3 billion , are healthcare and business software.

Transportation and energy also required high investments, $2 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively.

Industry Overview

Julian Schoemig, CEO and co-founder of Diesta, a platform transforming the way insurance companies process B2B premium payments, says 2024 has been an exciting year. The company recently closed a €3.5 million seed funding round from US fintech investors to fuel its growth.

“Raising capital in today’s cautious market can be challenging, but rewarding, especially with the interest of foreign investors and the right partner,” says Schoemig.

“Even with recent funding, cash flow management remains crucial as we balance product development and revenue growth. On the customer side, the need to reduce costs and accelerate payments aligns well with current market dynamics. We can’t wait to see what the rest of the year has in store.

Remus Brett, General Partner at LocalGlobe & Latitude, takes a broader view and talks about the fintech industry as a whole.

“The UK fintech sector is back. Many scaleups, emerging stronger than ever from a difficult financing market, are significantly reducing the market share of incumbents,” he says.

“Tide, for example, now has over 10% of the SME banking market and Cuvva underwrites 11% of all new car insurance policies in the UK. A new generation of AI-native startups is reshaping fintech from consumer to business transformation.

Optimistic words indeed. This is excellent news of course for all those who work in these companies and who are expecting a generous end-of-year bonus, but also for job seekers.

With the influx of investments in the sector, as in 2021, the fintech job market is poised for a boom.

As AI generation and other new technologies continue to disrupt traditional finance, companies will need talent to support their expansion in the areas of software development, product management, data analysis, cybersecurity and compliance.

For those looking to get started or advance in fintech, there couldn’t be a better time to look for a job.
