NEW YORK, October 4, 2022 -- CB Insights today named Blockdaemon to its fifth-annual Fintech 250 ranking, showcasing the 250 most promising private fintech companies of 2022.
"This year’s Fintech 250 winners are shaping the future of financial services, from payments and banking to investing and insurance,” said Brian Lee, SVP of CB Insights’ Intelligence Unit. “Representing more than 30 countries, these companies are creating safer and more efficient payment methods, and transforming how traditional banking, insurance and investing products are delivered.
Together, they not only make financial services more convenient for users, but also make them available to more people, especially traditionally underserved populations around the globe.
”Utilizing the CB Insights platform, the research team selected these 250 winners from a pool of over 12,500 private companies, including applicants and nominees. They were chosen based on factors including R&D activity, proprietary Mosaic scores, market potential, business relationships, investor profile, news sentiment analysis, competitive landscape, team strength, and tech novelty.
The research team also reviewed over 2,000 of Analyst Briefings submitted by applicants.
