Last week, the French President Emmanual Macron said he hoped that Europe will produce at least 10 companies worth €100 billion each by 2030. European start-ups have raised €45.9 billion so far this year, according to Dealroom data, already surpassing total investment for all of 2020. Indeed, we've read about a lot of deals in FinTech recently. Let's see if there will be a handful of €100 billion FinTechs in Europe by 2030. The Dutch startup Molli ($800 million ), the German whitelabel bank Solarisbank ($67,5 million ) and the IPO of the UK startup Wise.com might be a good sign! Whereas Nutmeg (UK) and Tink (Sweden) are not European at all after takeover by JP Morgan and Visa. But what does that mean in a small world? ;).
