Fewer deals are getting done but some of them — mostly in AI — are huge.
The top deals of the month have all integrated artificial intelligence into their products from automated industrials, clinical documentation, and work assistants, to AI-driven expensive strawberry companies.Â

Highlighted Venture Funds

Jack Altman’s Alt Capital, raised $150M for its third fund [The Information]
-
Wonder Ventures of LA raised $57M for its 4th pre-seed fund and $45M for an opportunities fund #LongLA [TechCrunch]
-
Runway, popular GenAI startup that’s raised ~$300M, is now raising its own VC fund focused on early-stage AI startups
As a part of any cycle, there are cyclical wind-downs. On the fund side, Foundry Group is closing down after they finish deploying their current fund. They’re joining OpenView and Countdown Capital. With LP capital contracting, a rocky market for startups and managers, I wouldn’t be surprised if more venture firms are shutting down behind the scenes.
