#america venture funding

Brazil is back in the lead in Latin America's venture funding tally — and in a big way. Brazil-based startups raised $692 million in Q3, up 47% year over year and 92% quarter over quarter.

Funding to North American startups surged in the first half of 2025, fueled by investor enthusiasm around artificial intelligence, overall pouring $145 billion into seed through growth-stage rounds for U.S. and Canadian companies.
