Some of the noteworthy investments secured include Stable Money landing $14.7 million for its financial technology platform in a Series A round led by RTP Capital. NeoGrowth also closed an $11 million debt financing round led by Symbiotics Group to aid its lending solutions. Incuspaze, a startup in the co-working space, raised $8 million though details of the investors were not disclosed.
Among sectors, fintech startups attracted the most capital with Stable Money and NeoGrowth accounting for over $25 million of the total funding.
