U.S. startups raised a combined $676.1 million in the week ending October 17—about 10× the amount from the same week last year. The haul was driven by a major quick-commerce round of $450 million, and signals renewed investor appetite for high-growth tech even in the face of macro uncertainties. While early-stage companies in AI, logistics and fintech led the funding wave, many VC firms noted that fundraising seasons remain lengthened and exit paths unclear. The surge demonstrates deal-flow momentum even as cautious narratives persist.
