261+ Series A Funded Startups — $32B+ Raised in 2025-2026

The 2025-2026 Series A landscape is both competitive and well-capitalized. Our dataset tracks 185 Series A companies that collectively raised $32.2B, with a median round size of $21M. That median has climbed significantly from 2024 lows, reflecting investor willingness to write larger checks for companies with proven product-market fit. AI-native companies command the largest Series A rounds — 25 AI startups raised a combined $4.8B at a $75M median, dwarfing the overall Series A median. SaaS remains the most active category by deal count with 35 Series A rounds totaling $3.2B ($17M median), followed by Healthcare (25 companies, $1.0B) and Biotech (24 companies, $17.7B — driven by capital-intensive drug discovery platforms). FinTech Series A activity is rebounding with 14 rounds totaling $2.4B at a $17M median, while Cybersecurity (15 companies, $528M, $28M median) and Climate (21 companies, $816M, $14M median) round out the portfolio. For sales teams, Series A companies represent the sweet spot: they have meaningful budget ($21M in fresh capital), they are scaling teams rapidly, and they are making vendor decisions that will last years. The key is timing — outreach within 60 days of funding closes yields 3x higher response rates than cold outreach to unfunded companies.
