Among the 50 most recent funded financial services startups in Germany listed here, the largest disclosed round is FINN’s $1.0B on 2025-02-10, which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amounts (for example, Scalable Capital at $65M on 2023-12-07 and HAWK:AI at $56M on 2025-04-08). The smallest disclosed rounds sit at the $500K–$1M floor (Rally at $500K on 2025-03-12 and Vickii at $1M on 2023-09-05), creating a wide disclosed-amount spread.
The data also clusters temporally and geographically: 10 entries land between 2025-07-08 and 2025-05-07 (with multiple Berlin-based companies such as Credibur at $2M on 2025-07-23 and Payrails at $32M on 2025-06-12), while Berlin repeats heavily across stages (including Friendsurance $8M on 2025-07-08, Circula $17M on 2025-05-07, and Upvest $105M on 2024-12-12). Stage labeling is skewed toward incomplete disclosure, with 22 entries marked “Series Unknown” and 4 marked “undisclosed,” spanning the full date window from 2023-07-10 (Hepster) through 2025-07-23 (Credibur).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this Germany financial services set, and how extreme is it versus the rest?
FINN’s $1.0B on 2025-02-10 is an outlier; the next-largest disclosed amounts visible are $105M (Upvest, 2024-12-12) and $65M (Scalable Capital, 2023-12-07). Most other disclosed rounds cluster well below those figures, including multiple entries in the $30M–$56M band such as Payrails ($32M on 2025-06-12) and HAWK:AI ($56M on 2025-04-08).
Which city shows the strongest concentration, based on repeated headquarters in the 50 rows?
Berlin is the most consistently repeated location across rounds (e.g., Credibur in Berlin on 2025-07-23 at $2M; Friendsurance on 2025-07-08 at $8M; Payrails on 2025-06-12 at $32M; and Circula on 2025-05-07 at $17M). Other cities like Munich and Hamburg appear multiple times, but Berlin’s recurrence spans more months and more deal sizes.
Do the rounds cluster in a recent date window, or are they evenly spread across the time range shown?
They cluster near the top of the sorted list: 10 entries fall between 2025-07-08 (Friendsurance) and 2025-05-07 (Circula). After that, funding activity continues but with fewer entries per short window, extending back through mid-2024 and earlier to 2023-07-10 (Hepster).
How much of the stage information is incomplete in this dataset?
Stage disclosure is incomplete for a large share of rows: 22 entries are labeled “Series Unknown” and 4 are “undisclosed.” This shows up across the timeline, including recent deals like Banxware (Series Unknown, $11M on 2025-06-03) and older ones like Extantia Capital (Series Unknown, $11M on 2023-09-26), plus “undisclosed” entries such as Scope Group (undisclosed, 2024-09-13).
Are there notable low-end outliers among the smallest disclosed rounds?
Yes. Rally’s disclosed $500K on 2025-03-12 sits at the low end of disclosed amounts, and Vickii’s $1M on 2023-09-05 is similarly near the floor. Both contrast with large, later-disclosed rounds like FINN’s $1.0B (2025-02-10) and Upvest’s $105M (2024-12-12), indicating a bifurcation between micro-rounds and large late-stage disclosures.
