◆ Sectors
Fintech led sector representation with 3 funds backing companies in the space, followed by AI & ML and Digital Health each attracting 2 funds. Data Infrastructure and Robotics each drew 1 fund. The fintech and digital health clustering is consistent with the persistent investor appetite for regulated-industry software where AI is beginning to compress both compliance cost and clinical workflow — sectors where Series A capital can be deployed at scale against credible revenue traction.
