This week we continue our series on the top 5 VC-funded deals in AI.
More big bucks rolling in for AI and this week four of the top five venture deals in artificial intelligence came out of the US, with the fifth coming from Austria.
The week’s funding round winners were companies offering the following:
- A tech-driven and AI-native pharma company
- A transformer-specialized AI chip
- An AI-enabled sustainability, risk, and compliance platform
- An AI video generation platform for businesses
- An AI-powered search and discovery shopping platform
In past weeks, we noted that healthcare was getting a lot of funding, and this week we only see one deal in that sector BUT it was a whopping $472M deal. I would postulate that the most AI VC will continue to pour into healthcare and it will be the lead category for AI investing for some time, since the sector is just massive. We’ll see, right?
Anyhoo, below are the top 5 venture-funded AI deals for the past week…
