US Early Stage Funding is Making a Surprising Comeback

U.S. median round sizes for funding have increased in the first half of 2024, reversing a decline that began in early 2023. Median round sizes for seed and Series A stages surpassed levels from 2021 and 2022. Although there may be fluctuations in the median amounts for seed funding as more later-stage funding occurs, overall median amounts in 2024 are likely to exceed those of 2023. Series B rounds showed increases compared to 2023, while Series C results remained below peak levels from 2021 but above 2020. The funding environment has shifted significantly, with early-stage funding experiencing notable growth, particularly influenced by advancements in AI, which doubled funding for AI companies in Q2 2024. Median round sizes across seed to Series C increased by 11% to 30% in H1 2024, reflecting rising valuations, especially in sectors like AI and security.
