◆ The Week
In the seven days to 27 July 2026, Startup Scout observed 43 funds investing across 38 rounds, deploying a combined $4,195M — with 3 rounds undisclosed on amount. As this is one of the first editions of The Money Report, week-on-week comparison is not yet available; the figures stand as the opening benchmark.
◆ Stages
Seed was the most active stage with 18 funds observed there, closely trailed by Series A at 16 — together accounting for the clear majority of activity. Pre-seed saw 5 funds, while the later stages of Series C (5 funds), growth (3 funds), Series D (3 funds), and Series B (2 funds) confirm that select larger rounds also cleared this week.

◆ Sectors
Enterprise Software drew the most fund attention with 7 funds observed backing startups in the space, followed by Cybersecurity with 4 funds. Digital Health, Insurtech, Maritime Tech, and Robotics each attracted 3 funds — a notably broad spread for a single week. The cluster around Enterprise Software reflects sustained institutional appetite for B2B infrastructure plays where AI-native tooling is compressing go-to-market cycles; the Maritime Tech and Robotics presence points to growing conviction in physical-world automation that was, until recently, considered too capital-heavy for early-stage VC.

◆ Geography
North American funds dominated the window by a wide margin, with 28 funds headquartered there — more than five times the next region. Europe recorded 5 funds and the United Kingdom a further 4, confirming that London and continental Europe remain the clearest non-US centres of activity this week. Single funds were observed from Africa, East Asia, Latin America, MENA, and South Asia, suggesting selective but real global reach.
