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.
Last week's funding report shows a noticeable decline in the number of funding rounds compared to the previous week, yet the total capital raised surged significantly. This indicates a concentration of larger deals rather than many smaller ones. The U.S. led with a robust share of funding rounds, featuring substantial investments primarily in AI, cloud, fintech, biotech, and cybersecurity sectors. Notable large rounds include significant Series B and C raises in AI-powered platforms for advertising, identity security, financial operations, longevity health tech, and enterprise data analytics.
A geographic breakdown reveals robust activity in the U.K. and India as well, with sectors like FinTech, PropTech, AgriTech, and biotech gaining traction. There is a clear focus on AI-related investments, particularly in infrastructure, automation, and enterprise AI, reflecting ongoing investor confidence in AI technology's transformative potential. The spike in total funding despite fewer rounds could suggest larger valuations and more mature startups attracting big-ticket investments.
Comparing this to previous weeks (for example, November 18 and November 11, 2025) shows a consistent trend where AI and cloud infrastructure dominate, but the volume of rounds can fluctuate significantly. Investors increasingly favor deeper investments in fewer, higher potential startups rather than spreading funds thinly. This is evident in the November 24 report's large rounds for firms like Databricks and Anthropic, signaling strong confidence in cutting-edge AI platforms and safety research. The steady presence of fintech and biotech also shows diversified investor interests across high-growth tech domains over recent weeks.
Overall, the trend highlights a maturing venture capital landscape focusing on AI and advanced technology sectors, with larger funding rounds concentrated around a smaller set of innovative companies. This suggests a phase of consolidation and strategic capital deployment for scaling and market domination rather than broad early-stage speculation.
This pattern indicates a focus on quality over quantity in venture funding, with a clear belief in AI and cloud technology as drivers of the next wave of tech innovation and investment growth. Such concentration also points to investor preference for scalable platforms and breakthrough technologies with potential for significant market impact.
