| Hi, Agen. From seed to late-stage, venture-backed companies have gone through a major reset since 2021 — leading to flat rounds, down rounds, delayed rounds, layoffs and closures. Today, we look back at some of the most high-profile companies with disclosed values in 2023 that raised at significant markups as well as those that saw their valuations slashed. Down rounds in 2023 became increasingly common. They weren’t isolated to troubled companies, either. In fact, valuation resets were visited upon some companies widely considered to be the most likely to have IPO plans for the next few years. What a year it’s been for artificial intelligence investment. For a time it seemed nine-figure rounds were being thrown out by investors every week to the latest and greatest AI startup. Let’s look at who ranked at the top of the list for AI funding deals in a very active year. Speaking of large AI deals … Google-backed generative AI startup Anthropic is reportedly in talks to raise $750 million in fresh cash at a valuation of at least $15 billion — more than triple its valuation last spring.
