US venture funds raise $62.4 billion in five months

Original: 288 венчурних фондів США зібрали 62,4 мільярда доларів за перші п'ять місяців 2026 року. З цієї суми 90,9% дістались уст

288 US venture funds raised $62.4 billion in the first five months of 2026. Of that sum, 90.9% went to established firms with long track records, and megafunds with more than $1 billion in capital captured 71.9% of every dollar raised. The figures highlight growing concentration of venture capital in a small number of large, established players, with smaller funds under $50 million struggling.

Why now: People are reacting to evidence of sharply increasing concentration of venture capital in large established funds at the expense of smaller ones.
