◆ The Week

Thirty-four funds raised a combined $14,551M in the week of 23–30 June 2026, with six declining to disclose their size. That is up from 25 the previous week. The jump in aggregate capital is driven by a clutch of very large vehicles in East Asia and a continuing surge of AI-focused funds in North America.

◆ Stages

Seed-stage mandates were the most prevalent, with 29 funds covering seed and $14,325M in associated capital — seed and pre-seed together account for the majority of vehicles, reflecting an active early-stage market. Series A (16 funds, $12,922M) and Series B (11 funds, $10,571M) confirm that larger cheques are also flowing freely, with two growth-stage vehicles adding a further $3,050M.

◆ Sectors

AI Infrastructure was the dominant theme, attracting 13 funds and $10,804M — the single largest sectoral pool this week. Generative AI followed with 12 funds and $4,616M, underlining that AI across the stack remains the central preoccupation of deploying managers. Robotics punched well above its weight: 4 funds commanding $6,827M, driven by the large corporate vehicles out of Japan and China. Fintech (7 funds, $401M) and Enterprise Software (6 funds, $368M) represented the most active non-AI verticals, while Cybersecurity (5 funds, $237M) showed consistent demand for dedicated security capital.

◆ Geography

North America led on fund count with 14 vehicles and $4,239M in disclosed capital, but East Asia commanded the week's capital league table — just 5 funds accounting for $8,871M, reflecting the outsized size of vehicles such as Sky Factory and Apollo Capital Contents I Investment. The United Kingdom placed third on both count (5 funds) and capital ($929M), while MENA (3 funds, $110M) and Israel (2 funds, $108M) added meaningful early-stage activity.
