Key US FinTech investment stats in H1 2026:
- US FinTech investment increased 12% YoY
- Funding is projected to increase 12% in 2026 driven by growth in larger deals
- ninjaOne, a leading automated endpoint management platform, raised over $400m in Series C extensions, making it one of the top US FinTech deals in H1
US FinTech investment increased 12% YoY
US FinTech companies raised $27.4bn across 911 deals in H1 2026, a 12% increase in funding and a 17% rise in deal count compared to the $24.5bn and 780 transactions recorded in H1 2025.
Both measures moved higher in tandem, pointing to a broad-based strengthening of activity rather than a concentration of gains in a handful of large rounds.
The average deal size in H1 2026 came in at $30.1m, down 4% from $31.4m in H1 2025 and below the $32m average recorded across 2025, reflecting the proportionally larger increase in deal count relative to funding.
Set against 2025’s total of $52.1bn across 1,627 deals, H1 2026 accounts for 53% of last year’s funding and 56% of its deal volume, suggesting the market is tracking ahead of last year’s pace.
Funding is projected to increase 12% in 2026 driven by growth in larger deals
Should H1 2026’s trajectory continue, 2026 would close with 1,822 deals and $54.8bn in total funding, representing a 12% increase in deal volume and a 5% rise in capital raised compared to 2025.
The composition of H1 2026 funding reflects growth across both deal size segments, with larger transactions continuing to dominate the overall picture.
Deals of $100m or more raised $17.1bn in H1 2026, a 17% increase on the $14.6bn recorded in H1 2025, and accounted for 62% of total half-year funding, broadly in line with the 60% share they held in H1 2025.
Across 2025, larger transactions generated $32.4bn, representing 62% of annual funding, a figure supported in part by a strong second half in which deals of $100m or more contributed $1.6bn and played a meaningful role in sustaining the year’s overall funding momentum.
Smaller deals raised $10.3bn in H1 2026, a 5% increase on the $9.9bn recorded in H1 2025, with their share of total funding remaining steady at 38%.
The consistency of that split across both periods suggests the relative weight of large and small transactions has remained largely stable, even as the overall volume of activity has grown.
ninjaOne, a leading automated endpoint management platform, raised over $400m in Series C extensions, making it one of the top US FinTech deals in H1
The round saw participation from Wellington Management, Teachers’ Venture Growth, BDT & MSD Partners, Sequoia Capital, ICONIQ, Hedosophia, NEA, Washington Harbour Partners, CapitalG and Pinegrove Opportunity Partners, valuing the company at $12.3bn.
The raise follows a landmark 2025 for the company, which delivered nearly 70% year-on-year growth and a record first quarter in which it achieved profitability and was named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Management Tools.
ninjaOne serves nearly 40,000 organisations across 140 countries, including Deloitte, Revolut, Hyundai and Porsche, and has maintained a 98% customer satisfaction score for more than five years.
The company remains founder-led, with co-founders Sal Sferlazza and Chris Matarese retaining majority control of both the board and the company’s voting power.
