AI captured 81% of venture capital in Q1 2026

Original: AI забрав 81% венчурного капіталу Q1 2026. Down-раунди нікуди не зникли. Forus, платформа для доступу пацієнтів до ліків

AI startups drew 81% of venture capital funding in the first quarter of 2026, while down-rounds remain common across the broader market. One example cited is Forus, an AI-based platform giving patients access to medicines, which closed a $150 million Series C in September 2026 at a $3 billion valuation, with the round led by Bain Capital Ventures.

Why now: Investors and founders are debating how concentrated venture funding has become around AI while other sectors face down-rounds.
