Definitions & Exclusions
What is our view of fintech infrastructure?
Fintech infrastructure companies provide the underlying technology that enables fintech startups and traditional financial institutions to launch new products and services digitally (online or on mobile devices). Our market map excludes consumer applications unless the company also has a B2B or B2B2C solution.
What segments did we exclude?
We deliberately excluded crypto, insurance, healthcare, and CFO stack (e.g. finance and accounting). We believe those segments are financial institution adjacent and/or warrants a market map of its own.
