AI startups grab over half of global VC funding in 2025 to date
AI startups now account for over half of global VC funding in 2025, as investors back fewer, larger bets.
A recent industry report shows that AI startups have captured 51% of global venture‑capital funding so far in 2025, surpassing all other sectors.
Deal value across the ecosystem has climbed to about US $310 billion through Q3, led by large rounds in the U.S., which accounted for 85% of AI funding and 53% of deals. Investors are increasingly writing fewer checks but at larger sizes, reflecting a concentration of capital in high‑potential AI ventures.
The trend underscores a structural shift in tech investment and highlights rising pressure on non‑AI sectors to compete for investor attention and dollars.
