 September 14, 2024  Eight companies joined The Crunchbase Unicorn Board in August, with six based in the U.S., and two hailing from China and India, respectively.  With out-of-pocket health spending and high-deductible health plans on the rise, more U.S. venture investment is going to companies innovating around these themes.

Funding overall was down for August, and in the U.S. no investor consummated very many deals. Alumni Ventures was the only VC firm to break a double-digit count in the slow month.  We talked to Faisal Aftab, founder of Pakistan-based Zayn Venture Capital, about the country's underfunded startup scene, his plans to boost funding with his role in the soon-to-be-launched "Shark Tank Pakistan" and which sectors from which the panel of judges should expect to hear.
