Robust Kickoff in 2025: January Transactions Highlight Resilience in Financial Technology and Logistics Industries
In February 2025, the search results did not specifically list the top fundraisers in the Fintech and Logistics & Transport sectors. However, there were some relevant data points that provide insight into the funding landscape of these industries.
In the Fintech sector, several companies raised significant funding rounds in 2025, but none specifically mentioned February. Upstart, an AI lending platform, raised $50 million in March, while Bilt Rewards completed a notable $150M growth round in August 2024. Other notable Fintech startups like Thought Machine, Daffy, and Uncapped had large funding totals by mid-2025, but without February-specific data.
The Americas attracted the majority of fintech investment in H1 2025, with large deals occurring throughout that period, but without monthly breakdowns.
In the Logistics & Transport sector, no specific information about February 2025 fundraisers or major VC deals was found. The only directly relevant sector-specific data focused on fintech and AI startups, with no logistics & transport fundraising detailed.
However, outside of February 2025, there were notable fundraising activities in the Fintech sector. For instance, Taager, an Egyptian Logistics & Transport startup, finalized a ~$7m pre-Series B. Togo-born startup Gozem secured $30m ($15m equity, $15m debt) in February 2025, and Raenest, another Nigerian Fintech startup, closed an $11m Series A round. Khazna, an Egyptian Fintech startup, raised $16m for expansion into KSA.
Despite the lack of specific February 2025 data, the broader picture of 2025 suggests a strong start, with notable activity in high-growth sectors. The total amount raised in 2025 so far ($408m) has already surpassed the same period last year ($302m) and slightly exceeded 2021's figure ($400m). The seven largest deals in 2025, accounting for 80% of the total, were all in either Fintech or Logistics & Transport.
The number of $100k+ deals announced in February 2025 (38) was lower than the average of the past twelve months and the lowest for any February since 2021. The total amount raised in February 2025 ($119m) also lagged behind the twelve-month average and was the lowest for any February since 2019.
In conclusion, while February 2025 may not have been a standout month for fundraising in the Fintech and Logistics & Transport sectors, the strong start in 2025 is characterized by notable activity in sectors with high growth potential and those that are growing rapidly. For a more detailed report on February 2025 fundraisers, additional specialized funding databases or sector-specific VC reports may be needed.
