Reports indicate AI companies took 81% of venture capital funding in the first quarter of 2026, while down rounds continue across the startup market. Among the notable deals, Forus, an AI-powered platform giving patients access to medications, raised a $150 million Series C in September 2026 at a $3 billion valuation, with the round led by Bain Capital Ventures. Commenters note the growing concentration of investor money in AI.
