GLOBAL VC FUNDING HOLDS STEADY BUT AI FUNDING INCREASES

Global venture capital funding remained steady at around $20 billion in February. AI companies secured a large portion of the investments. Industry giants such as Microsoft and Alibaba placed significant bets on AI startups, driving the sector's share of the total funding to over 20%. While overall funding has cooled off since 2021, there is growing optimism (and concern) regarding the valuations of AI companies.
