With a recession looming, fintechs at all stages are wondering how to sustain growth (and raise capital!) at a time when many companies are feeling the pinch. Sometimes you have to spend money to make money — but what’s the best way of doing that? We speak to the experts to find out.

Making your pitch: what do VCs want to see from companies?

2020 and 2021 were the years of SaaS: from Zoom to Slack to Hopin, we couldn't get enough of the tools that made remote work work. And neither could VCs, pouring a record 11bn EUR into SaaS startups across Europe in 2020 alone.
