Dry powder for VC and PE has reached record levels, exceeding $700 billion for VCs and $1.5 trillion for PEs. This abundance of available capital is particularly of interest for fintech companies, with vast capital available for both fundraising and exits. Additionally, fintech-focused VCs are on the rise, with several significant fundraising rounds targeting various segments. However, converting this dry powder into actual investments may rely on the resurgence of strong exit opportunities for VCs through IPOs or M&A activity – something that is picking up significantly in 2024.
