The venture capital landscape is undergoing significant changes, particularly in pre-seed and seed-stage funding. Last week, $17.4 million was raised across 13 pre-seed rounds, with an average round size of $1.3 million, up from $927,000 the previous week. This shift is attributed to seed-stage startups now being as old as Series A companies from a decade ago. Additionally, nearly half of venture capital funding in Q3 2024 came from mega-rounds, raising questions about the sustainability of this trend. Notably, FastinoAI, an AI startup, raised $7 million in pre-seed funding, co-led by Insight Partners and M12, with participation from NEA. Furthermore, one in five startup fundraising rounds are currently down rounds, a fourfold increase since Q1 2022. Last week also saw a rebound in big rounds, with seven startups raising $100 million or more.
