Capital sets the pace of the whole sector, and the headline number rarely tells the story. Fintechly’s Capital and Deals desk covers venture rounds, M&A, IPOs, funds, debt facilities and the valuations attached to them, down to the structure of each deal.
We report who is putting money in, at what price, and what the terms actually say: the liquidation preferences, the down-round mechanics, the debt hiding behind an equity headline. Venture, M&A, IPOs, funds, debt and credit, and valuations each have their own feed.
Our monthly funding roundups and deal analysis give operators and investors a running read on where capital is flowing and what it is really buying.
