The stages of fintech
Every stage asks for something different.
FGV brings capital, growth, finance and talent together under one roof, so founders get one partner from first check to scale. Here is what each stage of a fintech company needs, and where FGV helps.
Why does the stage matter?
Every problem a founder brings us is connected to the rest of the company. The right channel, the right hire and the right raise all depend on where the company is: what worked at seed rarely works at Series B.
Stages
- Pre-seed and seedAt pre-seed and seed, a fintech is proving that a specific customer wants the product enough to switch to it.
- Series AAt Series A, a fintech has found something that works and has to prove it can grow on purpose.
- Series B and beyondFrom Series B, a fintech's first channels flatten and the company has to build its next stage: new audiences, new products, new markets.
- ScaleAt scale, a fintech or financial institution is defending what it has built while finding the next source of growth.
