Bay Area Captures Over Half of AI & B2B VC Funding
Carta’s latest Startup Ecosystem Leaderboard (covering $124 B of venture capital from July 2025‑June 2026) shows the Bay Area pocketing 51 % of every AI dollar and 53 % of every B2B dollar. That concentration means founders raising AI or B2B rounds still gain a tangible edge by locating in San Francisco, where investors and talent are densely clustered.
