Growthink Capital Research tracked $16.28 billion in venture funding in December 2025, up slightly from $16.06 billion in November.
Across 2025, venture funding demonstrated resilience amid continued macro uncertainty, with monthly totals fluctuating within a relatively stable range and punctuated by several outsized late-stage rounds. Funding momentum strengthened in the second half of the year as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and health-related technologies consistently attracted investor attention, offsetting softness in more consumer-oriented segments.
**April 2025 figure was normalized by removing the $40 billion outlier investment in OpenAI, led by SoftBank.
