Last week's funding report (ending February 9, 2026) shows sustained high activity with a slight uptick in rounds and a sharp rebound in capital, dominated by US deals in AI infrastructure, healthcare automation, and hardware.
Key Patterns
AI tags dominate nearly every major US round, from voice tech (Eleven Labs), inference hardware (Positron AI, SambaNova), and agentic platforms (Alaffia Health, Synthpop) to real estate (Cadastral AI) and defense (Overland AI). Healthcare sees heavy AI integration for claims, screening, and admin (BeHuman, Chamber, Meet Graici), while semiconductors/hardware surge with mega-deals. Other sectors like construction robotics (Bedrock), energy infra (Derapi), and cybersecurity (RADICL, RAPIDFORT) reflect deep tech focus; non-tech like food (Good Culture) is minor.
Regional Trends
US leads overwhelmingly (53 rounds), followed by UK (11, e.g., Lawhive AI legal), India (8, fintech/IPO heavy), with Europe fragmented (Germany 6, Switzerland 5). China stands out with high capital concentration.
Comparisons
Vs. Feb 3 (125 rounds, slight dip/-3%, capital +13%): Similar volume (slight +2%), but sharper capital surge (+55% noted), more AI hardware vs. prior's cloud/biotech (CoreWeave, Cellares); US steady ~50-53, UK up from 14. Jan 27 (129, +10%, +35% capital): Peak volume, AI/cleantech; latest shifts to inference/defense. Jan 20 (117, +23%, -76% capital): Rebound post-low, AI/biotech; current sustains volatility but amplifies AI ubiquity over energy dips. Earlier Dec-Jan: Consistent US dominance, AI/health rise amid fluctuating volumes.
Conclusion: AI's pervasiveness signals 2026 deep tech maturation, with US mega-rounds driving capital despite volume wobbles—watch hardware/health for sustained momentum.
