Enterprise Fintech VC Trends

B2B fintech startups are ready for a busy 2025 

Despite an overall decline in enterprise fintech quarterly dealmaking from peak levels in 2021, the outlook for the sector remains positive. $5 billion in VC deal value was recorded across 336 deals in Q4, marking QoQ increases of 42% and 51%, respectively, according to our latest Emerging Tech Research. AI advancements are particularly noticeable in lending, regulatory, and wealth technologies, but agentic AI offerings are also making an appearance in banking and payments applications. 

Exit counts in 2024 were slightly up from the previous year, and analysts expect this trend to continue into 2025, with several companies flagged for potential IPOs as the exit market recovers and increased M&A activity gives investors more liquidity.
