According to Crunchbase Global Venture, it amounted to $ 19 billion, which suggests one of the slowest months for investments last yr. AI and health care were two leading investment sectors, and equipment and production will gain importance.
Last month, American financing sums with just over $ 10 billion – or 54% of the project’s global investments.
The monthly financing troughs weren’t unprecedented since the market correction at the end of 2021.
However, the expected reception of the stock market market in 2025 now looks more uncertain with the threat of recent stiff American tariffs affecting public technological actions. Economic uncertainty can further reduce the investments of the project in 2025.
AI LED, with the increase in equipment and production
AI was the leading sector of the Venture Capital investment in February, attracting $ 5.7 billion, or about 30% of global financing. Financing for health care and biotechnology amounted to 22% of the total investment.
The equipment was received last month by 18% of funds, with large rounds of data centers and startups robotics, and 15% of funds went to the production sector, where startups in defense and aviation, and material sciences raised large rounds.
The largest round in February was financing $ 600 million SaronicManufacturer of sea unmanned surface vehicles for the possibility of defense, led by Sell Gil With Gil Capital.
There were other large investments. End point management platform Ninione collected $ 500 million, Lambda collected $ 480 million for training and inferences of the GPU, Eikon Therapeutics collected $ 351 million to find drugs, and a humanoid robot developer Aptronik He collected $ 350 million. Most of these major rounds, with the exception of Ninjaone’s, have a component of hardware and software for their technology.
High -value rounds are ongoing
Half of the global investments of the project, i.e. about $ 9.7 billion, stayed last month to finance the late stage. In the early stage, over $ 7 billion was invested in the early stage, and $ 2.3 billion was invested in stage corporations.
Interestingly, in February there was no decrease in the number of funds of financing price $ 1 billion or more, at the same time as the general investment is slowed down. Twenty -one corporations have amassed in valuations price a billion dollars, in comparison with 23 in January and 17 in February 2024.
Apparently there is no shortage of capital funds for investments in large contracts.
