C2FO Named to the 2020 CB Insights Fintech 250 List of Fastest-Growing Fintech Startups

Kansas City, USA (Sept. 1, 2020) — CB Insights today named C2FO to the third annual Fintech 250, a prestigious list of emerging private companies working on groundbreaking financial technology. 

“We’re proud to once again recognize the 250 best private fintech companies globally. This year’s Fintech 250 represents 25 countries and spans 19 categories — reimagining everything from retail banking and crypto, to insurance and asset management,” said CB Insights CEO Anand Sanwal. 

Through an evidence-based approach, the CB Insights Intelligence Unit selected the Fintech 250 from a pool of 16,000 companies, including applicants and nominees, based on several factors. These factors include patent activity, investor quality, news sentiment analysis, proprietary Mosaic scores, market potential, partnerships, competitive landscape, team strength, and tech novelty. The Mosaic Score, based on CB Insights’ algorithm, measures the overall health and growth potential of private companies to help predict a company’s momentum.

• Unicorns: 32 of the 250 companies are valued at or above $1 billion as of their latest funding round.
• Funding trends: Year-to-date, these 250 private companies have raised $10.3 billion in equity funding across 120 deals.
