  1. Column 1 presents the coefficients and the clustered standard errors for the panel probit regressions on conducting a successful funding rounding (VC or Capital Seed) Column 2 presents the coefficients and the clustered standard errors for the panel probit regressions on having a High Digital Impact (the dependent variable takes the value 1 if the FinTech’s online search volume index is above the annual mean over the sample). All variables are defined in Table 2. Standard errors are clustered at the FinTech-level. A constant term (not reported) is included in all regressions. *, **, *** Coefficients are statistically significant different than zero at least at 10%, 5%, and 1% levels
