Royal Park Partners on track to double revenue in 2022 as it celebrates third birthday

Royal Park Partners, the specialist corporate advisor to the fintech industry, has recorded industry-beating growth as it celebrates its third year in operation.

Launched in 2019 by fintech corporate finance heavyweight Aman Behzad, the company has experienced strong year-on-year growth, with revenue tripling from 2020 to 2021, and on track to double once again this year. Having developed alongside the fintech sector through the explosive growth of 2019-2021, Royal Park Partners has continued on its outstanding trajectory despite this year’s global funding slowdown.

In just three years, the Royal Park Partners team has grown ten-fold. Helping businesses raise capital, from series B through to IPO and ultimate strategic exit, the London-headquartered firm has raised well over $1 billion for its clients to date and established itself as the most active fintech advisor across EMEA. It has advised on more than 30 deals across 6 continents, working with a global network of over 20,000 investors and strategic buyers.

Acting as a trusted adviser to many high-growth fintechs across verticals spanning from payments to banktech and capital markets, Royal Park Partners’ roster of clients has included Indonesia-based financial super app Koinworks South African payments company Yoco, Czech-based BNPL provider Twisto and Bud – one of Europe’s leading open-banking platforms. Royal Park Partners also acted as exclusive financial and strategic advisor to PayRetailers on its acquisition of Pago Digital, and in 2020 advised Thought Machine on a $125 million funding round ahead of it achieving unicorn status the following year.

Last year, John Clark joined Royal Park Partners as Managing Director to establish the New York office and expand the firm’s Americas coverage. This move bolstered the company’s international expansion and growth strategy, deepening access across global markets.

Aman Behzad, Managing Partner and Founder, said: “What our team has achieved in the last three years has been truly phenomenal. Each year we continue to break new ground, reach new markets, and give innovative companies the rocket fuel to scale new heights.

“We have proven that fintech is a permanent and essential cornerstone of the global economy, with amazing companies creating innovative solutions for better access to finance. Despite recent market conditions, we have continued to advise on landmark transactions in the industry as businesses react to evolving customer needs and the need to deliver creative solutions. We look forward to expanding our reach in the coming years, becoming a trusted to partner to even more fintechs around the globe.”
