◆ The Week

Forty-six funds closed a combined $6,459M in the two weeks to 17 June 2026 — the opening edition of The Money Report, so no prior-window comparison is available. Eighteen of those funds closed on undisclosed sizes, meaning the $6,459M figure understates the true quantum of fresh capital entering the market. North America anchored the window with 21 funds and $4,459M, but the spread across eight geographies signals that LP appetite is genuinely global.

◆ Stages

Seed is the most cited stage focus at 40 funds, with Series A close behind at 29 — together they account for the majority of declared mandates and confirm that new capital is being positioned overwhelmingly at the formation end of the market. Pre-seed features in 16 fund mandates, while growth-stage appears in only 5, suggesting LPs are betting on entry price over late-stage liquidity in the current environment.

◆ Sectors

AI Infrastructure leads all sector focuses with 16 funds declaring it a target, followed by Generative AI at 13 and Enterprise Software at 9. Biotech and Agtech — at 8 and 7 funds respectively — confirm that the window was not a pure-AI story: life sciences and food systems capital is rebuilding quietly alongside the infrastructure wave. The AI Infrastructure dominance reflects institutional conviction that the model layer is maturing and that the picks-and-shovels layer — compute, semiconductors, photonics, cloud plumbing — now offers more defensible returns; several corporate VCs (TDK, Catalight, Playground Global) closing hardware-adjacent mandates in the same window reinforces that reading.

◆ Geography

North America's 21 funds and $4,459M dominate, but Europe's 8 funds brought in $984M, and East Asia's 5 funds contributed $500M — driven in part by specialist quantum and photonics vehicles out of China and aviation-focused corporate VC out of Japan. The United Kingdom registered 5 funds at $176M, and Israel's single entry, monday Ventures at $200M, outweighed the entire MENA cluster of 3 funds at $110M combined.
