Simon Nicholls and Greg Smith, Partners at GP Bullhound, commented: “GP Bullhound’s Q3 Digital Services market update focuses on the key trends we see in the market and profiles three market participants we think are having an impact in the sector. Key trends this quarter include the world going Programmatic, and the growing Influencer Marketing sphere. GP Bullhound is the leading advisor in the Digital Services sector, with 21 deals completed in the space in the past 24 months.”

Claudio Alvarez, Partner, commented: “In Q3 we saw a slight recalibration of our fintech index as online lenders such as Funding Circle, On Deck and Lending Club traded downwards post statements to the market that growth was slower than previously forecasted.  These names aside, the rest of the index is trading healthily at a trailing revenue multiple of +10x. The private markets continue to see strong investor appetite with large funding rounds being completed by NU Bank, Robinhood, Klarna and C2FO, just to name a few.”
