Top 5 VC Deals of the Week in AI (11/8/24)

1118

This week we continue our series on the top 5 VC-funded deals in AI.

While one deal exceeded, by a large amount, the $100M threshold, this past week was a relatively sleepy one for venture funding in AI.

This week’s top reported deal, per FinSMEs, came in from the customer engagement space, where Insider raised $500 million to support its marketing platform and invest in research and development. The next biggest announcement was in the computer vision space, where Spot AI brought in a $31M round. The top five also included companies in the research and predictive modeling spaces.

Smaller funding raises that did not quite make our top 5 this week included announcements from the enterprise AI, medtech and lendtech sectors.

Below, we highlight the top five venture capital deals, ranked from the highest to the lowest funding amounts, showcasing the companies at the forefront of the AI revolution….
