AI Dominant Theme in Forge Q1 2026 Investment Outlook
Forge’s Q1 2026 Investment Outlook shows AI cementing its dominance across private‑market capital flows, with mid‑ and late‑stage companies raising $154.9 billion in 2025—more than double 2024’s total. AI‑focused firms alone attracted $56.7 billion, highlighted by OpenAI’s $40 billion round and Anthropic’s $16.7 billion, while the number of funded companies fell to 638. The AI basket surged 191.3% for the year, outpacing Aerospace & Defense and Fintech, and AI stocks accounted for 45% of trading volume. Despite AI’s lead, non‑AI firms still posted solid gains, and the Unicorn Club expanded to 39 members, the strongest quarterly tally in three years.
