📅 May 26 - June 1, 2026

AI continues to dominate -- 6 of 8 deals are AI-native or AI-adjacent. The Anthropic round alone dwarfs everything else combined. Infrastructure and AI tooling (chips, gateways, dev tools) are seeing serious conviction. TaxTech and InsurTech are both quietly having a moment.
