Last week's funding report shows a slight dip in activity alongside a rebound in capital deployment, with strong U.S. dominance featuring mega-rounds in AI infrastructure like CoreWeave ($2B) and X.ai ($2B), alongside biotech and cleantech advances. Key patterns include pervasive AI integration across sectors (e.g., Adaptive6, Decagon AI, Fiddler AI), healthcare/biotech surges (Cellares, CraniUS, Prenosis), and energy/hardware plays (Standard Nuclear, Eliyan). UK highlights AI video (Synthesia $200M) and fintech, while India focuses on supply chain AI and cybersecurity.​

AI remains the dominant theme, powering 60%+ of highlighted rounds in cloud/compute (CoreWeave, PaleBlueDot), customer service (Decagon), and novel apps (Inferact, Limy AI). Biotech/healthcare drew big bets on cell therapy (Cellares $257M), neurotech, and diagnostics, signaling post-2025 recovery. Energy/clean tech gained traction via nuclear (Standard Nuclear $140M) and solar (GlassPoint), reflecting climate priorities. Nonprofits and edtech were minor.

U.S. led overwhelmingly, with UK (14 rounds, e.g., Synthesia), India (8, e.g., 63SATS Cybertech), and smaller European hubs (Switzerland 9, Germany 5) trailing. Canada stood out with high capital intensity.

Compared to Jan 27, activity edged down but capital rose, unlike Jan 20's lower U.S. focus. Jan 13 saw explosive growth from a weak base (95 rounds), while early Jan (e.g., Jan 6 ) had fewer but larger deals. Dec reports trended steadier, with AI/biotech consistent amid holiday lulls.

Conclusion: AI infrastructure and biotech signal 2026 deep tech boom, with U.S. mega-deals offsetting volume dips—watch for sustained VC pivot to high-conviction plays.
