The Mastercard for Fintechs Event provided an excellent opportunity for our team to engage in discussions on the future of fintech, payments, and sustainable finance. Our consultants Bas van Donselaar and David Núñez Corona attended the event and shared several key takeaways from the expert panels: • Volatility in private markets – Since 2020, the fintech sector has experienced overvaluations, disruptions due to the pandemic, and a closed IPO window. This has led to reduced valuations for late-stage fintechs, while early-stage startups faced tighter capital conditions. •  Outlook for 2025 – With the IPO market slowly reopening, there is cautious optimism. Investors are now prioritizing sustainable growth over rapid expansion. •  Implications for early-stage fintechs – While capital availability remains tight, there are still opportunities for niche and underserved markets. However, the emphasis has shifted towards building profitable, scalable business models early on. We look forward to applying these insights and continuing to innovate. A special thanks to Jan-Willem van der Schoot and Henri Dewaerheijd for facilitating these discussions. Thanks to Mastercard for hosting and to companies like Loyyo Invesdor Benelux, ByQwest, goDutch, FinFlag, Magnius, and Pay4You for their contributions.
