◆ The Week

Sixty-three startups raised a combined $410M in the seven days to 9 November 2026 — up from 26 companies the previous week, a rise of 37 deals. Three rounds remained undisclosed. The sharp volume jump signals a release of pent-up activity rather than a gradual step-change, with the median deal size staying modest against a handful of large anchors.

◆ Stages

Seed was the busiest stage with 30 rounds totalling $163M, while Series A, though fewer at 13 rounds, commanded more aggregate capital at $196M — indicating that the larger cheques are clustering at the first institutional step-up rather than being spread across later stages. Pre-seed contributed 19 rounds and $49M.

◆ Sectors

Fintech topped deal count at 10 raises and $60M, reflecting persistent institutional demand for capital-markets infrastructure and AI-assisted back-office tooling. Robotics, however, dominated capital at $124M across just 6 deals — the highest capital-per-deal ratio of any sector this window — driven by autonomous freight, home robotics, and physical-AI mobility plays. Space Tech registered 4 deals and $26M, an unusually active week for the category. The robotics concentration reflects maturing hardware-software stacks and investor conviction that physical-world AI is approaching commercial deployment thresholds.

◆ Geography

The United States led on both deal count and capital, with 17 raises totalling $188M. South Korea punched above its weight, contributing 5 deals worth $46M — a capital-per-deal ratio that rivals the US. India placed second by count with 6 deals ($20M), while the UK matched India's count at 5 deals but raised only $12M, suggesting smaller ticket sizes in London this period.
