Morningstar Inc. said PitchBook has published its 2025 US and European “All In: Female Founders in the VC Ecosystem” reports, finding venture funding for female-founded startups increasingly concentrated in fewer, larger rounds and heavily influenced by AI. In the US, female-founded companies raised a record $73.6 billion in 2025 and captured an all-time-high 27.7% of total VC deal value, with AI taking roughly two-thirds of invested dollars and more than $30 billion tied to Scale AI and Anthropic. Europe saw lower deal value and counts amid a pullback in megadeals, though valuations rose on greater selectivity and exit activity shifted to fewer but larger outcomes.
