Don’t get SaaD. Get Rippling.

Remember when software made business simpler?

Today, the average company runs 100+ apps—each with its own logins, data, and headaches. HR can’t find employee info. IT fights security blind spots. Finance reconciles numbers instead of planning growth.

Our State of Software Sprawl report reveals the true cost of “Software as a Disservice” (SaaD)—and how much time, money, and sanity it’s draining from your teams.

The future of work is unified. Don’t get SaaD. Get Rippling.

AI continues to dominate, appearing in nearly every US round like AI One for enterprise context, Amperesand for AI data center power, and Cerrion for manufacturing video analysis, alongside Luma AI's visual generation. Infrastructure and energy surge with Amperesand, X-energy's nuclear reactors, and Swisspod hyperloop, reflecting AI's power demands. Sustainability persists via The Amlon Group's waste recycling and Zipline drones for healthcare logistics. UK shows AI-procurement like Procure Ai and Monq: AI negotiation; India mixes AI with quick commerce (Blinkit) and renewables (Husk Power). Germany and Switzerland maintain steady activity without detailed breakdowns.

US leads with mega-rounds in AI infrastructure and fintech (Kalshi prediction markets), while UK/India emphasize early-stage AI automation. Energy transitions grow via nuclear, hyperloop, and power for AI centers, tying to prior sustainability focus. Fintech remains robust across regions, from Sokin's payments to India's wealthtech.

Comparison to Prior Weeks

Last week's report aligns with Nov 18 trends of AI/SaaS surges (e.g., Cursor coding tools then vs Minitap mobile dev now) and US dominance, but shifts more to energy/infrastructure from prior biotech emphasis (Beacon Biosignals). See https://newsletter.parsers.vc/p/weekly-funding-rounds-statistics-insights-of-november-25-2025, https://newsletter.parsers.vc/p/weekly-funding-rounds-statistics-insights-of-november-18-2025, and earlier at https://newsletter.parsers.vc/p/weekly-funding-rounds-statistics-insights-of-november-11-2025. Declines noted vs recent weeks, yet AI integration deepens across sectors.

Conclusion: Sustained AI leadership with rising energy/sustainability focus signals infrastructure bets for tech scale; no major shifts from prior patterns.
