New PitchBook information illustrates how significantly AI is controling start-up investment, with 2025 on-track to become the very first year when AI accounts for more than half of all VC money invested.
PitchBook reports that VCs have poured $ 192 7 billion right into the sector so far this year, out of an overall $ 366 8 billion, according to Bloomberg In the most recent quarter, AI accounted for 62 7 % of the money spent by U.S. VCs, and for 53 2 % of cash spent by global firms.
A lot of that cash is going to marquee names like Anthropic, which introduced a $ 13 billion Collection F in September. At the same time, the number of start-ups and venture funds efficiently elevating money go to their cheapest levels in years– PitchBook says that 823 funds have actually been elevated globally so far in 2025, compared to 4, 430 in 2022
PitchBook’s supervisor of research study Kyle Sanford informed Bloomberg that the market is ending up being “bifurcated,” where “you remain in AI, or you’re not” and “you’re a huge company, or you’re not.”
