Announcement: DealPotential has closed a $1.1M seed bridge round at a $15M valuation!
September’s investment data reveals a clear hierarchy in where capital is being deployed. The trends point to sustained confidence in technology and life sciences, with a significant portion of funds concentrated in a small number of large-scale deals.
The software sector remains the primary destination for investment, securing US$6.61B across 103 deals. Financial Services followed with US$2.01B across 28 deals. This highlights the massive ongoing disruption in the fintech space, including digital banking, payment processing, and blockchain technologies.
Biotechnology and Healthcare also demonstrated their resilience and high-cost R&D nature, pulling in US$1.59B and US$1.5B respectively. These sectors continue to attract major investment as they tackle global health challenges and develop next-generation therapies.
Looking beyond broad industries, the top-performing verticals tell an even more specific story about our technological priorities:
Geographically, the distribution of capital is stark. The United States firmly leads the pack, with US$12.73B invested across 147 deals. This represents a vast majority of the total capital, reinforcing its position as the world’s primary innovation hub.
The United Kingdom holds a strong second place with US$1.7B, maintaining its role as Europe’s financial and tech center. India follows closely with US$1.37B, signaling its explosive growth as a major market and source of innovation.
The appearance of Guatemala with a massive US$830M from just two deals is a notable outlier, potentially pointing to a rising star or a single, transformative project in the region.
The largest individual deals highlight the scale of current investments:
The current investment landscape is characterized by a strong focus on software and health technology. Funding is not only concentrated in these sectors but also geographically, with the US capturing most of the capital. The prevalence of deals nearing the billion-dollar mark indicates a strategic shift towards making fewer, but substantially larger, bets on established front-runners.
The data in this blog is based on completed deals across all investment rounds in September 2025.
