Financial Technology Partners

We are Financial Technology Partners, or as many know us, FT Partners, the only investment banking firm exclusively dedicated to the dynamic world of FinTech. Since our inception in 2001, we have been at the forefront of the convergence between technology and financial services, a sector we are deeply passionate about. Our journey began in San Francisco, and we've since expanded our presence to New York, Miami, and London, allowing us to serve our clients on a global scale. Our founder, Steve McLaughlin, established our firm after a distinguished career at Goldman Sachs, with a vision to create a specialized advisory practice that truly understands the unique needs and opportunities within FinTech. We pride ourselves on this exclusive focus, which we believe provides us with an unparalleled depth of knowledge and an extensive network of relationships with the most prominent investors, financial institutions, and innovative FinTech companies across the globe. This specialization allows us to deliver exceptional results for our clients, whether they are high-growth, venture-backed companies or established industry leaders.

Our team is our greatest asset. We've cultivated a culture of collaboration, integrity, and relentless dedication to our clients' success. We are more than just bankers; we are partners to the CEOs and founders we advise, providing senior-level attention on every transaction from start to finish. This hands-on, client-first approach is a core tenet of our philosophy. We offer a comprehensive suite of strategic and financial advisory services, including mergers and acquisitions, private capital raising, and IPO advisory. Our track record speaks for itself, having been recognized as 'Investment Bank of the Year' and 'Dealmaker of the Year' on multiple occasions. We are committed to building long-term relationships and providing unbiased, mission-critical advice that helps our clients navigate the complexities of the FinTech landscape and maximize their shareholder value. We are constantly analyzing the market, publishing in-depth research that is widely read by industry leaders, and we are always excited to be at the center of the most transformative deals shaping the future of finance.
