In the midst of a global fintech funding downturn, specialist corporate advisor Royal Park Partners is experiencing impressive growth, with projections to double its revenue this year.
In the second quarter, global fintech funding dropped by 39% from its 2021 peak, impacted by the broader economic climate and specific issues like the crypto winter. Despite this decline, as Royal Park Ventures celebrates its third anniversary, it is defying the trend; revenue has tripled from 2020 to 2021 and is on track to double once more this year.
Based in London, the firm has successfully raised over $1 billion for its clients and has positioned itself as the most active fintech advisor across EMEA. With a portfolio of more than 30 deals spanning six continents, it has worked with notable clients such as Thought Machine, Bud, and Indonesian super app Koinworks.
Aman Behzad, managing partner, notes, “We have demonstrated that fintech is a permanent and essential cornerstone of the global economy, with remarkable companies developing innovative solutions for improved access to finance. Despite recent market conditions, we have continued to advise on landmark transactions in the industry, as businesses adapt to evolving customer needs and strive to provide creative solutions.”
