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

This week our overall AI venture capital activity maintained most of its already impressive momentum from recent weeks, with all five of our listed announcements coming in over $290 million and 12 announcements total coming in over $100 million.

The biggest announcement, per FinSMEs, came from San Francisco-based AI healthcare benefits provider Angle Health, which raised $600 million to “invest in its AI-native technology platform and navigation across hyper-local, condition-specific care,” according to its announcement. Our second-place announcement was from the AI security space, where New York-based Cyera raised a $400 million Series G extension to “support new capabilities across its AI Security product roadmap, fuel deeper expansion in the federal market, and continue international growth across EMEA and APAC,” according to its announcement. Rounding out the top 5 are announcements from the AI infrastructure, robotics and biotechnology spaces.

Smaller funding raises that did not quite make our top 5 this week included announcements from the investment management, AI infrastructure, marketing and audio/visual content sectors.
