In the Nordics all-together there has also been some major funding rounds in March. Our friends in Helsinki Fintech Farm have visualized this here.
Swedish fintech Klarna´s funding round and recent valuation exemplifies how immense these funding rounds have been. Klarna raised $1 billion in new funding at a post-money valuation of $31 billion, making it the highest-valued private fintech in Europe. This makes Klarna on of the Nordics most valued bank, behind DNB and Nordea.
