"They wanted to wait it out longer, but they don't have a choice," Davis said. Startups could be forced to look for funding options as soon as this fall. Fintechs that sell to businesses are more likely to fare better than those that sell to individual consumers , VCs told Insider. Growth-stage fintechs, those who have raised Series C and beyond, were hit much harder than their earlier-stage peers in the downturn.
