Global AI venture funding concentration hits new highs, warns analysts
In 2025 AI startups secured over $192 billion in VC funding, topping half of global allocation and raising correction concerns among analysts.
Recent analysis shows AI startups captured $192.7 billion of global venture capital investment in 2025 over half of all VC funding so far this year. Mega‑rounds ($500 million) accounted for over 30 % of quarterly capital deployed. The concentration is highest in the U.S., but Asia‑Pacific saw strong growth with over $14 billion raised. Analysts caution that such heavy clustering of capital raises concerns about potential overvaluation and a forthcoming correction. 
Governments and regulators are watching closely as the sector’s funding surge may have ripple effects across broader tech ecosystems.
