For the third time this year, we broke the single-week record of number of deals. This week we hit 39, three more than the previous high of 36 (the week ending Mar 17). This week the total capital raised was a whopping $932 million (or $680 million not counting the $253-million Bats Global IPO). The total also included $46 million in debt.
That makes it 15 straights weeks with at least 20 deals worldwide.
The total number of deals YTD stands at 402, nearly double last year’s 204 (through April 17). Total dollars raised YTD is $8.8 billion, and is double the $4.4 billion raised during the same period a year ago.
Two Finovate alums raised fresh capital:
- Emailage raised another $5 million for its email-based fraud-prevention solutions
- Aire raised an undisclosed amount to further its new credit-scoring system
