May slowed down. Deal value dropped to $22.5B, down from $25.8B in April. That’s also around 34% lower than May last year. But YTD still ahead - $161.5B raised so far compared to $129.5B by this time in 2024. So there’s movement.. just more cautious. 1) What stood out: •TMT(tech/media/telecom) continues to lead - $7.4B raised across 373 deals •Application software was the busiest subsector with 193 rounds 2) Mega-rounds haven’t stopped: •Acrisure - $2.1B (Bain Capital) •HUB International - $1.6B •Grammarly - $1B from General Catalyst 3) Accel and Khosla were two of the most active firms - each jumped into 12 deals in May 4) Some serious capital still chasing AI and infrastructure bets But overall: •LPs and GPs are pacing their moves •AI’s still hot, but most of the cash is flowing into the top 1% •Corporate VCs are still active - driving nearly half the global deal value so far this year Feels like AI’s soaking up all the attention while the rest of the market stays quiet.

VCs are being more selective but still deploying capital. The AI concentration makes sense, that's where the real disruption is happening. Thanks for the solid analysis with actual numbers.
