Global investing in startups hit $297 billion in Q1 2026, breaking all records, according to new Crunchbase data. That’s a massive 2.5x increase over the $118 billion raised in the previous quarter. This single-quarter haul outpaces every full year of global VC activity prior to 2019.
The unprecedented spike was fueled by just four behemoth deals, each a record-breaker in its own right.
