The latest two weeks (Weeks 33–34): AI raised $11.07B across 132 companies, but four rounds were half of every AI dollar. Week 33 ran hot at $7.28B (43% of all dollars), led by Helsing's $1.8B, the largest defense-AI round in European history, and Fireworks AI crossing $1 billion in revenue. Week 34 cooled to $3.78B, headlined by Travis Kalanick's return: the Uber co-founder's robotics company Atoms raised $1.7B. The throughline both weeks was physical AI. Robots out-raised software.
