Here’s the full list of 28 US AI startups that have raised $100M or more in 2024

For some, AI fatigue is real — but clearly venture investors haven’t grown tired of the category.

In the first half of 2024 alone, more than $35.5 billion was invested into AI startups globally, recent Crunchbase data found. Five of the six venture rounds of more than $1 billion raised in the first half of 2024 were raised by AI companies.

Many other AI startups were able to raise mega-rounds of more than $100 million. U.S. startups raised two of the billion-dollar rounds in the first half of this year and nearly two-thirds, 64%, of the mega-rounds.
