FinTech in Stockholm
Over the past 5 years, $658.5 million has been invested in Stockholm fintech companies. In 2015 alone, $137.7 million was invested across 38 deals. Two notable companies leading the way are Klarna, a payments company with $291 million in funding and over 1,000 employees, and iZettle, a mobile payments company with $244 million in funding and over 150 employees. Major investors in Stockholm fintech include Northzone, Creandum, and Kinnevik.
