Global venture funding totaled $23 billion in April 2025, remaining roughly flat compared to April 2024, but sharply down from the $68 billion raised in March. It was one of the slowest months in the past year in terms of capital deployed.

Bar and line chart showing global monthly funding to AI companies from January 2023 to April 2025. Bars indicate total investment (in USD billions) and the line tracks the number of funded companies per month, with a peak in March 2025 ($49.3B and 491 companies).

Despite the pullback, Artificial Intelligence remains the leading sector, accounting for approximately 30% of global funding — a clear indication that the race for AI leadership continues among investors and corporations alike.
