About this page
This page reports that startup funding in Q1 2026 shattered all records, reaching $297 billion globally—a 2.5x increase from the previous quarter's $118 billion. This single-quarter total surpasses all full-year VC activity before 2019. The unprecedented spike was driven by four mega-deals: OpenAI raised $122 billion at an $862 billion valuation, Anthropic raised $30 billion at $380 billion valuation, xAI raised $20 billion, and Waymo raised $16 billion. Collectively, these four rounds accounted for over 63% of total quarterly funding.
