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

This week our announcements are led by one deal exceeding the $100 million threshold.

The week’s top reported deal, per FinSMEs, came from London-based Quantexa, a decision intelligence company, which raised a $175 million Series F round in part to expand its North American presence and seek out mergers and acquisitions. The next biggest announcement came from the robotic massage space, where New York-based Aescape brought in an $83 million round. The top five also included companies in the fintech and e-commerce spaces.

Smaller funding raises that did not quite make our top 5 this week included announcements from the logistics, health care, and agentic fintech 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…
