  • Silicon Valley VCs Pivot to AI and Asia-Pacific Growth Amid Regulatory Shifts

    Silicon Valley VCs Pivot to AI and Asia-Pacific Growth Amid Regulatory Shifts
    Feb 21 2026
    Silicon Valley's venture capital landscape is undergoing significant transformation as major firms navigate post-pandemic realities and emerging technological opportunities. Peak XV Partners, which separated from Sequoia Capital in 2023, has raised its first independent fund with 1.3 billion dollars, demonstrating continued investor confidence in Asia-Pacific markets. The fund will deploy capital across seed and early-stage investments in India alongside a dedicated pool for broader Asia-Pacific startups. Peak XV has backed notable companies including Zomato, Meesho, Groww and Razorpay since launching in 2006, and has now accumulated nearly 10 billion dollars across all funds.

    The artificial intelligence sector continues attracting substantial capital as investors recognize transformative potential in specialized applications. Code Metal, an AI-focused startup specializing in code translation between programming languages, closed a 125 million dollar funding round at a 1.25 billion dollar valuation. This represents a five-fold increase from the company's November valuation of 250 million dollars. Salesforce Ventures led the investment with participation from Accel, B Capital, and defense manufacturer RTX Corp among others. Code Metal's platform addresses practical challenges in software development by automatically translating code between languages while using formal verification to identify and fix potential bugs, a critical capability for mission-critical applications in aerospace and industrial manufacturing.

    The venture capital ecosystem is simultaneously adjusting to new regulatory requirements. California has implemented Fair Investment Practices requirements for venture capital companies, mandating annual reporting that includes not just financial information but demographic details about founding team members. This regulatory shift reflects broader industry movements toward transparency and accountability.

    Palo Alto-based Costanoa Ventures is returning to market seeking 450 million dollars across early-stage and growth-focused funds, signaling continued appetite for traditional venture categories alongside emerging opportunities. These developments suggest Silicon Valley firms are simultaneously investing in proven sectors while aggressively pursuing artificial intelligence and specialized technology applications that promise significant returns.

  • Silicon Valley's Venture Capital Shift: AI, Regulation, and Specialized Sectors Drive Investment

    Silicon Valley's Venture Capital Shift: AI, Regulation, and Specialized Sectors Drive Investment
    Feb 18 2026
    Silicon Valley's venture capital landscape is experiencing significant shifts as tech investors adapt to an increasingly complex economic environment marked by AI innovation, regulatory scrutiny, and emerging opportunities in specialized sectors.

    Just yesterday, Realta Fusion secured a 9.5 million dollar growth capital facility from Silicon Valley Bank, a division of First Citizens Bank, to advance its compact magnetic mirror fusion technology. According to Silicon Valley Bank, the financing will support derisking of the physics and continued development of Realta's CoSMo fusion system toward commercial delivery of on-site industrial heat and power for data centers, chemical processing, and heavy industry. Realta Fusion CEO Kieran Furlong noted that while their approach promises a lower capital path to fusion energy than some competing concepts, they remain a deep tech company with significant capital needs, highlighting the substantial commitments required in emerging energy sectors.

    The funding landscape continues to show robust activity in AI infrastructure. Temporal Technologies, an artificial intelligence agent reliability startup, closed a 300 million dollar Series D funding round led by Andreessen Horowitz, with participation from Lightspeed Venture Partners and Sapphire Ventures. According to SiliconANGLE, Temporal is now valued at 5 billion dollars. The company's cloud platform helps developers build more reliable AI agents by simplifying code recovery processes, and its service already serves major clients including OpenAI and Nordstrom.

    Beyond artificial intelligence, venture capital continues flowing into diverse sectors. Shakudo, a Toronto-based AI infrastructure startup, closed a 7 million dollar Series A2 round led by Wittington Ventures, the tech-focused venture capital arm of the Weston family's holding company. According to BetaKit, the round notably converted customers into investors, with executives from client companies like CentralReach personally investing alongside existing backers. Since its Series A round in 2023, Shakudo's business has grown sevenfold, and its revenue is now in the ballpark of a Series B company.

    International markets are also attracting significant investment attention. According to Investing.com, Andreessen Horowitz led a 300 million dollar funding round for Kavak, Mexico's online used car dealer, with Andreessen Horowitz contributing 200 million dollars and WCM Investment Management co-leading with 100 million dollars. This investment reflects growing venture capital interest in Latin American startups, which attracted approximately 6.2 billion dollars in funding last year, reaching the highest level since 2022.

    These funding trends indicate that Silicon Valley's venture capital firms are strategically positioning themselves across multiple emerging sectors while maintaining focus on artificial intelligence and infrastructure. The emphasis on deep tech companies like Realta Fusion and Temporal demonstrates investor confidence in long-term technological transformation, even as these ventures require patient capital. Simultaneously, the ability of firms like Shakudo to demonstrate rapid customer growth and revenue scaling suggests that investors are finding compelling opportunities among companies that combine technological sophistication with near-term commercial viability.

    Feb 16 2026
    Silicon Valley venture capital firms are charging ahead amid economic headwinds, doubling down on AI and fintech while eyeing new banking models to fill voids left by past crises. Cross River reports that Erebor, a de novo bank backed by Peter Thiel and Palmer Luckey, launched last Sunday with 635 million dollars in capital, targeting AI, defense, manufacturing startups, crypto firms, and high-net-worth clients. Luckey calls it a farmers bank for tech, addressing gaps from Silicon Valley Banks 2023 collapse.

    Funding momentum builds in AI compliance and payments. Bretton AI, formerly Greenlite AI, just raised 75 million dollars in Series B led by Sapphire Ventures, with Greylock and Y Combinator joining. CEO Will Lawrence says financial crime is AIs breakout use case in finance. Levl, a stablecoin platform from Galaxy Digital, scored 7 million dollars in seed from Galaxy Ventures and others, hitting 1 billion dollars annualized payment volume in four months. Founder Jaisel Sandhu aims to democratize cross-border payments.

    Payments titan Stripe eyes a 140 billion dollar valuation via tender offer, up 30 billion dollars from last mark, per Bloomberg, signaling liquidity without IPO. Seligman Ventures debuted with a 500 million dollar fund focused on early-stage AI, as AOL Finance notes.

    Firms respond to challenges by shifting to resilient sectors. OpenAI hired OpenClaw founder Peter Steinberger to push autonomous agents, with CEO Sam Altman pledging open-source support amid multi-agent AI hype, SiliconANGLE details. Cross-border flows evolve too, with Qiming Venture Partners enduring Chinas VC downturn via industrial tech, per The Wire China.

    Epstein files reveal shadowy EV ties, TechCrunch reports businessman David Stern pitched Epstein on Faraday Future, Lucid Motors, and Canoo a decade ago, highlighting opaque funding in mobility now echoing in physical AI.

    Trends point to AI dominance, fintech innovation, and specialized banking. VCs prioritize agentic AI, compliance tools, and stablecoins for efficiency amid delinquencies nearing 10-year highs. Regulatory nods like Erebors fast approval show adaptation, while diversity in backers like Swiss startups roadshowing in April via Venturelab hints at global nets.

    These shifts could solidify Silicon Valleys lead in AI-driven finance and defense tech, buffering economic turbulence and fostering multi-agent ecosystems for scalable growth.
