This week we continue our series on the top 5 VC-funded deals in AI.
This week we look back two weeks to April 10, and our announcements are led by three deals exceeding the $100 million threshold.
The top reported deal, per FinSMEs, came from Santa Clara, Calif.-based Auradine, an AI infrastructure company, which raised a $153 million round. The next biggest announcement came from the chatbot space, where Palo Alto, Calif.-based Manychat brought in a $100 million round. The top five also included other companies in the AI infrastructure and healthcare spaces.
