The Week’s 10 Biggest Funding Rounds: Megarounds Proliferate, Led By Enterprise Software, AI, And Space Tech

Share:
This week’s U.S. megadeals were led by Ramp’s $750 million raise at a $44 billion valuation and three $500 million rounds for Impulse Space, Supabase (now valued at $10.5 billion) and Flourish, with other large rounds including Helion $465 million at a $15.5 billion valuation and NewLimit $435 million (co‑founded by Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong). The surge in fundraising across AI, space and fintech signals strong institutional appetite that could boost crypto-related infrastructure and adoption, but risks include Suno’s $400 million round amid copyright lawsuits and an absence of major token launches or DeFi/CEX milestones.
