Our Top 5 VC Deals of the Week in AI featured funding announcements from Aurelian, Kapital Bank, FriendliAI, InstaLILY and Predoc

This week we continue our series on the top 5 VC-funded deals in AI.

This week's more muted venture capital funding announcements are led by a single transaction exceeding the $100 million threshold.

The top reported deal, per FinSMEs, came from Mexico City-based Kapital Bank, which raised a $100 million Series C in part to "accelerate the build-out of its financial ecosystem designed to maximize SMB performance across" Latin America, according to its announcement. Our second-place announcement came from the healthcare space, where New York-based Predoc brought in a $30 million Series A. The top five also included companies in the automated call center, AI inference and AI teammates sectors.

Smaller funding raises that did not quite make our top 5 this week included announcements from the product design, lawtech, and healthcare spaces.

Below, we highlight the top five venture capital deals, ranked from the highest to the lowest funding amounts, showcasing the companies at the forefront of the AI revolution...
