Your Partner in Delegation
You’ve done it all. Built your business, clawed your way into the green, pulled every lever you could pull. And you did it all by digging in.
But now? Your work days creep later and later. Big plans get pushed one more day. The urgent task always wins over the important one.
You’ve reached capacity. It’s not about working harder now. It’s about growing smarter.
BELAY’s Delegate to Elevate eBook shows how to break through the ceiling by letting go of the tasks holding you back. You’ll discover the mindset shift and strategies successful entrepreneurs use to free up time and focus on scaling.
It’s the tipping point: delegate to elevate — or stay stuck.
Last week's funding round report (week of October 7, 2025) recorded 131 funding rounds in the United States and the United Kingdom, marking a moderate dip compared to the previous week which reported 142 rounds. This reflects a typical weekly fluctuation rather than a persistent decline. The investment landscape remains robust and dynamic, characterized by continued focus on scaling promising startups through stable mid-sized rounds typically ranging from $5M to $20M. This points to a maturing ecosystem where investors prioritize growth-stage companies over early seed rounds or mega-rounds. Sector-wise, technology continues to dominate, especially areas such as SaaS, AI, and biotech, consistent with patterns from previous weeks.
Comparing recent weeks, the week of September 30 saw 142 rounds, slightly down from the week of September 23 which reached 152 funding rounds, the highest in recent weeks. The weeks before September 23 displayed a steady rise from 126 rounds (week of September 16), 88 rounds (week of September 9), stabilized around the high 70s to 130s during August, with peaks early August and late July. Total capital raised has seen volatility, with some weeks showing significant amounts but not always correlating directly with the number of rounds. For instance, the week of September 15 raised over $14 billion with 125 rounds, signaling large mega-rounds rather than just volume.
Geographically, the US continues as the dominant market, with the UK showing steady growth, especially in later-stage rounds suggesting increasing investor confidence in specific clusters. The investor behavior points towards cautious but proactive deal-making, with syndicates and late-stage VCs re-engaging after slower phases earlier in the summer.
Overall, the last few weeks reveal a cautiously optimistic investment environment with no signs of decline. The funding activity is characterized by selective investments in growth-stage startups, technology sector dominance, and geographic concentration in major hubs. The ecosystem appears in a recovery or stabilization phase following fluctuations in early to mid-September, showing resilience and continued interest in transformative technologies.
For further detailed weekly comparisons, reports for previous weeks are available:
In conclusion, the venture capital space is stable with normal weekly fluctuations in deal volume. The focus on mid-sized, growth-stage rounds and tech sectors indicates a maturing and selective investor environment. No sharp downturns or exuberant spikes have recently been observed, pointing to a balanced, resilient funding ecosystem.
