◆ The Week
Forty-two funds reported closes in the week of 6–13 July 2026, bringing a combined $7,972M to market. That is up from 34 the previous week. Thirteen funds declined to disclose their size, so the headline figure understates true capital raised.
◆ Stages
Seed-stage mandates led on both count (35) and capital ($6,687M), with Series A close behind at 26 funds and $6,630M — the two stages most relevant to Fusion42 readers. Pre-seed also saw meaningful activity: 15 funds with $1,076M available, giving very early-stage founders genuine options this week.

◆ Sectors
AI Infrastructure was the most active sector by both fund count (13) and capital ($3,990M), trailed closely by Robotics at $2,801M across 6 funds and Generative AI at $2,716M across 11. Supply Chain funds, though fewer in number at 4, aggregated $1,250M — suggesting large strategic vehicles rather than pure venture plays. Biotech (8 funds, $514M), Diagnostics (5 funds, $480M), Digital Health (5 funds, $330M), and Medtech (5 funds, $330M) collectively signal sustained appetite for life sciences.
