Klarna produces more startups than any other European fintech: Accel
SHARE

The fintech industry in Europe is booming, with startups emerging from established companies like Klarna at an unprecedented rate. According to a recent report from venture capital firm Accel, Klarna has produced more new startups than any other fintech unicorn in the region. Alumni from Klarna have gone on to create 62 new companies, including Anyfin, Bits Technology, and Pretzel AI. This trend of “founder factories” is not unique to Klarna, as other fintech giants like Revolut, Wise, and N26 have also spawned numerous startups.

Accel’s report highlights the success of European fintech unicorns in creating a fertile environment for entrepreneurship. With 82 out of 98 venture-backed unicorns producing a total of 635 new startups, the region is proving to be a hotbed of innovation. While Israel also contributes to the fintech ecosystem, the majority of founder factories are based in Europe.

One of the standout companies in this report is Klarna, which has made headlines for its workforce reduction efforts. CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski has implemented generative AI to streamline operations and reduce headcount. Despite these changes, Klarna’s ability to produce new startups is not solely attributed to cost-cutting measures. Accel’s Luca Bocchio notes that Klarna’s success as a founder factory is a result of its maturity and internal dynamics.

Interestingly, most companies founded by former employees of fintech unicorns tend to stay close to home. Sixty-one percent of these startups are based in the same city as their former employer, demonstrating a strong sense of loyalty and continuity in the fintech ecosystem. Bocchio believes that this “flywheel effect” will continue to drive innovation in Europe, as talented individuals leverage their experience to launch new ventures.

Overall, Accel’s report paints a picture of a thriving fintech landscape in Europe, where established companies like Klarna are nurturing the next generation of startups. With a focus on talent retention and knowledge transfer, the region is poised for continued growth and success in the fintech industry.
