Funding Figures Plummet
Startups collectively raised approximately $209.1 million, a 26% decrease from the previous week's $281.4 million. This marks a clear trend of slowing investment activity.
Fewer Deals, Bigger Pockets
The number of funding deals also fell sharply from 24 to just 14. A few large rounds accounted for the majority of the funds, leaving less for smaller startups.
Top Sectors and AI's Decline
Enterprise Services led the pack with $52 million, followed by Enterprisetech at $50 million. Notably, AI's share of funding drastically reduced from nearly 60% to a tiny fraction.
Key Large Rounds
Four major rounds, including Zetwerk, Veriqus, BUSINESSNEXT, and Raghu Vamsi Aerospace, secured over 80% of the week's total, highlighting the concentration of investment.
