Global AI Funding Peaks in March 2026: The Rise of 'Agentic' Technologies

As we close the first quarter of 2026, the Artificial Intelligence frenzy continues unabated in the global VC landscape. In the final week of March alone, startups focusing on AI infrastructure raised millions.

Standout seed investments included AI personal memory platform Littlebird ($11M), AI-native Human Capital Management platform Novaworks ($8M), and AI design agent Moda ($7.5M).

Investors are fundamentally shifting their thesis: Rather than funding startups that simply bolt AI features onto existing products, capital is aggressively flowing toward core technologies utilizing AI to automate end-to-end workflows (AI Agents) and disrupt traditional paradigms.

Investments in this sector are expected to increase even further in the upcoming period. With the rapid development of technological infrastructure, investors are evaluating potential opportunities more carefully.
