Slice Small Finance Bank Raises $100 Million at Reduced Valuation of $450-470 Million
Slice Small Finance Bank has raised $100 million in its first funding round since becoming a bank, at a valuation of $450-470 million, significantly lower than its 2022 valuation of around $1.3-1.5 billion. The fundraise includes compulsorily convertible debentures and partly paid equity shares, with investors such as Moore Strategic Ventures, Kado Global, Blume Ventures, and others. The round was fully subscribed and includes a secondary component where existing shareholders sold shares to new investors. Slice began as a buy-now-pay-later platform and recently merged with North East Small Finance Bank.
