79、23,with H123 funding nearly exceeding 2022s total.While funding remained well off pace of the banner years seen in 2020 and 2021,the funding is very positive given the declining funding levels in other areas of fintech.The$2.6 billion buyout of Duck Creek Technologies by Vista Equity partners helped

81、and 2021,a number of mature insurtechs particularly in the US went public in order to monetize their fundings.Many of these companies have not fared well in the public markets,particularly over the last year as market conditions deteriorated.During H123,P&C online insurance enabler Duck Creek Techno

275、 International entities provide no services to clients.All rights reserved.#fintechpulseThe underlying data and analysis for this report(the Dataset)was provided by PitchBook Data,Inc(PitchBook)on 23 June 2023 and utilizes their research and classification methodology for transactions as outlined on
276、 their website at https:/ Dataset used for this report considers the following funding transactions types:Venture Capital(including corporate venture capital)(VC),private equity(PE)funding and Mergers and Acquisitions(M&A)for the fintech vertical within the underlying PitchBook data.Family and frien
277、ds,incubator and accelerator type funding rounds are excluded from the Dataset.Due to the private nature of many of the transactions,the Dataset cannot be definitive,but is an estimate based on industry leading practice research methodology and information available to PitchBook at 23 June 2023.Simi
278、larly,due to ongoing updates to PitchBooks data as additional information comes to light,data extracted before or after that date may differ from the data within the Dataset.Only completed transactions regardless of type are included in the Dataset,with deal values for general M&A transactions as we

280、unding from individual angel investors,angel groups,seed funds,venture capital firms,corporate venture firms and corporate investors.Fundings received as part of an accelerator program are not included;however,if the accelerator continues to invest in follow-on rounds,those further financings are in
281、cluded.Angel/seed:PitchBook defines financings as angel rounds if there are no PE or VC firms involved in the company to date and it cannot determine if any PE or VC firms are participating.In addition,if there is a press release that states the round is an angel round,it is classified as such.Final
282、ly,if a news story or press release only mentions individuals making fundings in a financing,it is also classified as angel.As for seed,when the investors and/or press release state that a round is a seed financing,or it is for less than$500,000 and is the first round as reported by a government fil
283、ing,it is classified as such.If angels are the only investors,then a round is only marked as seed if it is explicitly stated.Early-stage VC:Rounds are generally classified as Series A or B(which PitchBook typically aggregates together as early stage)either by the series of stock issued in the financ
284、ing or,if that information is unavailable,by a series of factors including:the age of the company,prior financing history,company status,participating investors and more.Late-stage VC:Rounds are generally classified as Series C or D or later(which PitchBook typically aggregates together as late stag
285、e)either by the series of stock issued in the financing or,if that information is unavailable,by a series of factors including:the age of the company,prior financing history,company status,participating investors,and more.Corporate venture capital:Financings classified as corporate venture capital i
286、nclude rounds that saw both firms investing via established CVC arms or corporations making equity fundings off balance sheets or whatever other non-CVC method actually employed.Corporate/Growth:Corporate rounds of funding for currently venture-backed start-ups that meet the criteria for other Pitch
287、Book venture financings are included in the Pulse of Fintech as of March 2018.Growth:Financings tagged as Series E or later or deals involving companies that are at least seven years old and have raised at least six VC rounds will be included in this category.Private equity fundingsPitchBook include
