Despite a decline in deal volume compared to 2015, the market showed resilience.
Late-stage deals contributed significantly to the increase in deal value, though the number of mega-deals remained low, particularly in Asia.

US: Late-stage deal value strengthened, with AvidXchange leading the way with a $300 million Series F deal.
Europe: Fintech investment more than doubled to $2 billion, with the UK showing strong performance despite uncertainty. Germany experienced a drop in both volume and value.
Asia: Total investment remained relatively stable compared to Q1 2017, but the lack of mega-deals affected totals. India continued to focus on payments and lending, while Ouyeel and ItzCash contributed to the region's VC investment with $100 million+ deals.
