The party will end for European fintech in 2022, according to a bearish VC who predicts lower valuations and more regulation
But the fizz is set to go out of the sector in 2022, predicts Dutch VC firm Finch Capital, which has backed UK mortgage broker Trussle and lending platform Zopa.
"We believe at some point the music will stop," Radboud Vlaar, partner at Finch Capital, told Insider."It's possible that in 2020 companies overreacted to the threat of COVID-19, but we're seeing signals for 2022 that suggest that the party might soon be over." "There will be an impact on valuations from the talent war, higher salaries means higher costs, increased dilution from equity offers and lower profitability," Vlaar said."When you raise a big round you need to hire a lot of people and if you can't hire them then your growth plans will fall short."
