◆ The Week

In the latest seven-day window ending August 17, 2026, 27 startups raised $347m in total capital. This is a significant decline from 50 startups the previous week, confirming a slower fundraising pulse for early-stage ventures.

◆ Stages

Series A rounds dominated fundraising with 9 startups securing $284m, vastly outweighing seed ($50m) and pre-seed ($13m) funding. This highlights a tendency for investors to favour more mature startups amid market caution.

◆ Sectors

Fintech and AI & ML recorded the highest startup counts at 4 each, yet fintech commanded notably more capital ($33m) than AI & ML ($7m). Cybersecurity stands out with $41m spread over three startups, underscoring persistent investor focus on security in an AI-driven landscape. Developer tools and biotech saw concentrated capital, particularly CodeRabbit’s $143m raise skewing developer tools statistics.
