Anthropic Takes One-Third of Global Venture Capital in Q2; What Remains for Europe
Global venture capital funding hit a record $510 billion in H1 2026, with AI absorbing the majority. Anthropic alone attracted nearly one-third of Q2 funding, and together with OpenAI captured 43% of all startup funding. Europe, including France, remains largely sidelined, with European AI funding in 2025 being dwarfed by Anthropic's single funding round.
