Clearly, from looking at the number of huge deals that have gone down the past week, VCs are looking to deploy capital before end of year. This week, we had to leave several deals off our Top 5 list that exceeded $200M.
- This week’s top deal was an insurtech division of a medical conglomerate;
- All deals in our Top 5 list exceeded $200M and many in that category were excluded this week;
- Five separate categories of fintech were represented in this week’s list – the second week in a row that we saw such diversification in the sector.
Without further ado, here are this week’s top 5 fintech VC deals for the week below…
1Bright Health
$750M | Minneapolis| Insurtech | New Enterprise Associates, Cigna Ventures |
LinkedIn Firm Overview: “Our mission of Making healthcare right. Together. is built upon the belief that by connecting and aligning the best local resources in healthcare delivery with the financing of care, we can drive a superior consumer experience, reduce systemic waste, lower costs, and optimize clinical outcomes. At its core, Bright Health is a healthcare company. We are founded and led by industry veterans all too familiar with the challenges that have plagued U.S. healthcare for decades. We believe that to drive meaningful change, we must leverage technology and bring together the financing and delivery of care to strengthen healthcare’s most critical relationship: that between the consumer and their primary care physician. For too long, U.S. healthcare, primarily designed to cater to employers and large institutions, has failed the consumer through unnecessary complexity, a lack of transparency, and skyrocketing costs. We are making healthcare simple, personal, and affordable.”
