Recent venture capital focus has been on rapidly growing companies and the concentration of large capital, especially billion-dollar mega funds. Although small and mid-sized funds and small seed rounds have declined, transactions over $10 million are increasing, mainly benefiting emerging technology sectors like artificial intelligence. Moxxie Ventures is adjusting its investment strategy, planning to allocate most of its capital to core investments to address market polarization. Despite challenges, small seed rounds remain important for innovative companies.

Recent venture capital focus is on fast-growing companies and highly concentrated capital. Particularly, billion-dollar mega-funds attract attention, while small and mid-sized funds and small seed rounds are gradually losing market focus.

According to Crunchbase’s U.S. seed funding data, the number and total amount of deals ranging from $200,000 to $5 million have decreased by about 20% year-over-year. However, the number of large seed investments over $10 million is showing an upward trend. This is driven by growth in cutting-edge fields like artificial intelligence and increased capital flowing into these areas.

Moxxie Ventures, founded by Katie Stanton, is adjusting its capital allocation in response to market changes. The firm allocates 60% to 70% of its initial capital reserves to core investments while seeking new growth opportunities. This strategic shift aims to address the polarized investment landscape.

According to Crunchbase data for 2025, the total U.S. seed funding reached $19.4 billion, with over half of deals exceeding $10 million. This indicates that a large portion of funds is concentrated in high-growth potential companies like AI. Stanton explained, “Building products has become easier, but successfully growing a business is more challenging than ever,” highlighting the market’s difficulties. Despite these shifts, small seed funding may still provide crucial early-stage opportunities for innovative companies.
