This week our overall AI venture capital activity retained its strength from prior weeks, with all five of our listed announcements coming in over $160 million and nine announcements total coming in over $100 million.
The biggest announcement, per FinSMEs, came from Los Angeles-based robotics provider Atoms, which raised $1.7 billion to "integrate its newly merged multi-sector corporate assets, scale the production of its task-specific machine learning hardware, and accelerate full-scale industrial AI deployments across global distribution and heavy-industry networks," according to its announcement. Our second-place announcement was from the AI infrastructure space, where San Sebastian, Spain-based Multiverse Computing raised $570 million in a Series C to "expand its library of models, make strategic investments in sovereign AI gigafactory infrastructure, and establish a regional presence across East Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Canada, and the United States," according to its announcement. Rounding out the top 5 are announcements from the security, real estate, and expense management spaces.
Smaller funding raises that did not quite make our top 5 this week included announcements from the physical AI, cybersecurity and health care sectors.
