CB Insights today named Crowded , a Miami-based fintech platform for nonprofit financial management, to its eighth annual Fintech 100, showcasing the 100 most promising private fintech companies in the world. Crowded Named to CB Insights’ 2025 Fintech 100 "This year's Fintech 100 showcases a new generation of companies turning AI, automation, and digital assets into the backbone of financial infrastructure," said Laura Kennedy, Principal Analyst at CB Insights. "This year's winners are building the infrastructure that will shape the future of financial services." The list features early- and mid-stage startups driving the evolution of fintech. Using the CB Insights platform, the 100 winners were selected based on several factors, including deal activity, industry partnerships, investor strength, and hiring momentum. Crowded's recognition comes during a challenging period for nonprofits, with federal funding cuts and a government shutdown making 2025 one of the most difficult years for the sector since COVID-19. Those pressures have increased demand for automation in nonprofit financial operations. In the past week, Crowded's commitment to transparency has come into sharp focus amid  recent media reports . Earlier this year, the company announced a Series A that brought Crowded's total funding to $13.5 million, further accelerating adoption of its platform. Hundreds of institutional clients now use Crowded to manage organization-wide finances, including a growing number of councils of Girl Scouts of the USA. "We founded Crowded to provide nonprofits with a modern financial infrastructure they can trust, and being recognized in the Fintech 100 is a testament to our team's innovation and dedication," said Daniel Grunstein, co-founder and CEO of Crowded.
