AI startups captured over fifty percent of venture funding in 2025

According to a report by CB Insights, AI-focused startups are on pace to monopolise more than 50% of global venture capital funding in 2025. The study found that AI companies raised $192 billion in the first nine months, surpassing structured investing in other tech domains. Investors cite the commercialisation of generative AI, sharper enterprise demand, and regulatory comfort as drivers. The shift marks a structural pivot in venture markets as funds chase what they deem the “next computing platform.” Analysts warn valuations may rerate if earnings do not follow but note momentum remains strong.
