Every week, I\u2019ll take a look at the hottest fintech news of the previous week. This will include everything from funding rounds to trends to an analysis of a particular space to hot takes on a particular company or phenomenon. There\u2019s a lot of fintech news out there and it\u2019s my job to stay on top of it \u2014 and make sense of it \u2014 so you can stay in the know. \u2014\u00a0<\/em>Mary Ann<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n Last week, Paystand<\/a> \u2014 a blockchain-enabled B2B payments startup \u2014 announced it had acquired Mexican fintech Yaydoo<\/a> \u2014 creating a new unicorn in the resulting new entity.<\/p>\n Execs from the two startups say the combined company will have processed over $5 billion in payments and built a network of over 500,000 connected businesses by creating B2B DeFi payment networks in both the U.S. and Mexico.<\/p>\n In announcing the deal, they said: \u201cDeFi-enabled B2B payment networks that are on chain can unlock transformative working capital efficiencies, and make financial services more fair and open, especially in developing markets like LATAM.\u201d<\/p>\n Paystand CEO Jeremy Almond told me over email that combined revenues have been growing at over 100% year over year since inception. In particular, he said Paystand has experienced over 700% revenue growth in the last three years. The company has raised over $86 million over its lifetime and counts NewView Capital and SoftBank\u2019s SB Opportunity Fund among its backers.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Yaydoo has raised over $20 million from investors such as Base10 Partners, monashees, SB Opportunity Fund and Leap Global Partners.<\/p>\n With nearly 400 employees, the combined company will \u201chave a very unique ability to transform entire B2B Payments ecosystems in each country we operate because of our combined scale and access to resources,\u201d wrote Yaydoo CEO Sergio Almaguer in an email.<\/p>\n \u201cToday the U.S. has a legacy, centralized financial infrastructure that needs to be disrupted and re-imagined by fintechs with blockchain technology. However, in emerging markets like LATAM, the basic financial infrastructure for B2B payments is either missing or not accessible by businesses of all sizes,\u201d added Almond, noting that the payments tech ecosystem in LATAM is generally 10\u201315 years behind that in the U.S. Fintechs like Paystand + Yaydoo have a huge opportunity to build next-gen payments tech infrastructure from the ground up.\u201d<\/p>\n Notably, word on the street is that Payday is now eyeing an IPO<\/a>.<\/p>\n We haven\u2019t been hearing about too many M&As as of late, so this deal caught our eye. It also is a good lead-in to talk about some recent M&A data we got our hands on.<\/p>\n
