日本経済新聞 日本経済新聞社は、スタートアップ企業やそれに投資するベンチャーキャピタルなどの動向を調査・分析する 米ＣＢインサイツ （ニューヨーク）と業務提携しています。同社の発行するスタートアップ企業やテクノロジーに関するリポートを日本語に翻訳し、日経電子版に週１回掲載しています。 中小企業にとってDXを進める絶好の機会はなお続いている。 金融機関やテックスタートアップはこのチャンスをつかもうと積極的に動いている。 一方、中小企業向け金融商品・サービスを提供するスタートアップの分野も発展し続けている。下記の市場マップでは中小企業向けフィンテック商品・サービスを手掛ける14のカテゴリーの企業105社を記載し、主な部門ごとにまとめた。 ・人事:中小企業の福利厚生や支払いの管理を支援 ポイント 1.投資家の資金は「組み込み型決済インフラ」や「支出管理」などの基盤商品・サービスに集中:フィンテックインフラは中小企業にとって必須の存在になっている。「組み込み型決済インフラ」（20年以降の調達額96億ドル）、「支出管理プラットフォーム」（35億ドル）、「法人向け越境決済プラットフォーム」（34億ドル）の20年以降の資金調達総額は全体の77%を占めている。これは中小企業が新たな機能を加える前に、まずは必須の金融システムを確立する必要があることを示している。 2.投資家や金融機関は既存システムに柔軟に組み込める商品・サービスに注目すべき:中小企業は技術スタックをまるごと一新するのではなく、費用対効果が最も高いものだけを導入したいと考えている。例えば、決済部門の「買掛金（AP）自動化」企業の合計調達額（22億ドル）は「売掛金（AR）自動化」企業（7億3300万ドル）の3倍に上り、提携企業数も287社に対して44社と6倍以上多い。こうした指標は、中小企業のユーザー（売掛金よりも買掛金を多く処理する傾向がある）にとって買掛金自動化の方が費用対効果が明白なだけでなく、中小企業がテクノロジーに投資する状況やタイミングを選ぶことも表している。フィンテック企業側も多様な提携パートナーを強調することで、自社の商品・サービスの価値と導入しやすさを示せる。 3.デジタル世代の中小企業の台頭、アーリーステージ（初期）の活発化とテックを活用した融資を手掛ける企業の評価額上昇を後押し:「経常収益をベースとした融資プラットフォーム」の20年以降の調達件数43件のうちの3分の2近く（63%）は、アーリーステージ企業による案件だった。アーリーステージの調達割合の高さは、革新的なフィンテック企業の顧客である電子商取引（EC）やソフトウエア・アズ・ア・サービス（SaaS）、デジタルブランドなどが発展し続けており、なお多くの参入ポイントがあることを示している。同時に、投資家は「経常収益をベースにした融資」を高く評価している。このカテゴリーの中小企業向けスタートアップからはユニコーン（企業価値10億ドル以上の未上場企業）が3社（Wayflyer、Pipe、Clearco）誕生しているのに対し、「請求書ファイナンス」は1社（C2FO）にとどまる。 各カテゴリーの説明
