Deep Tech I Company Builder I Powerhouse

Intel Ignite’s early-stage deep tech startups had an outstanding fundraising year. We counted 4 pre-seed, 25 Seed and 15 Series A rounds across global hubs over the last twelve months. Intel Ignite portfolio median exceeded the dealroom median by more than 4x for pre-seed rounds, and more than 1.5x for Seed and Series A rounds. We saw: 📊 Continued trend: significant size seed rounds that would have previously been called ‘Series A’, w/ Series A rounds under 10M USD thinning out 📌 New: pre-seed rounds well above 2M USD 📈10-15% increase in size of Intel Ignite seed and Series A median rounds since last year ✔️ # of rounds increased: 15 Series A rounds this year vs 10 the year before; plus 25 seed & 4 pre-seed vs 28 seed (also counted pre-seed) rounds last year 🌎 fundraising remains strong across all regions: its a global overview that covers Europe incl UK, Israel, and the US 📅 median round sizes are fairly similar across geos, except: Seed, median rounds in the US are double in size compared to median rounds in Europe/UK and Israel; and, for Series A, median rounds in Israel and the US are around 25M USD vs around 20M USD in Europe and UK 📋 The Intel Ignite definition of ‘deep tech’: Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning & Computer Vision; Autonomous & Robotics; Hardware & Manufacturing; Software Dev Tools & DevOps; Security & Privacy; Data, Cloud & Edge; Next Gen Compute; and Web3 Infrastructure 🦾the verdict: deep tech keeps going strong. Here is to a resilient fundraising year 2025!
