Fintech Is Back: What’s Driving Valuations & Back-Office Convergence

Fintech is making a comeback, and the private markets are shifting fast. In this episode, we break down the biggest fintech moves—from Stripe’s $85B valuation jump to Klarna and Chime’s rumored IPOs—and explain why investors are paying up for some business models while discounting others.

Plus, we dive into a major shift in back-office software: HiBob’s acquisition of Mosaic signals a growing convergence between HR and finance, with implications for the future of ERP. Is the back-office stack consolidating into a new source of truth?

Topics we cover:✅ Why Stripe commands a 20x revenue multiple, and Mercury’s latest fundraise✅ Klarna vs. Chime: Who will get the better IPO valuation?✅ Affirm’s comeback—does it validate BNPL’s future?✅ The next evolution of back-office SaaS: HR meets FP&A

If you're a founder, operator, or investor in fintech or SaaS, this episode is packed with insights on positioning for the highest valuation.

🎧 Listen now and don’t forget to rate & review—first round’s on me if we ever meet in person.
