US venture capital (VC) funding surpassed the US$100 billion ($134 billion) mark in the first 10 months of 2024, solidifying US’s dominance in the global VC landscape, a report by GlobalData reveals.

During this period, the US recorded US$117.2 billion worth of VC funding deal announcements, reflecting a 17% y-o-y growth compared to the same period in 2023.

In the first 10 months of 2024, the US accounted for 29.3% of the total number of VC deals announced globally, while its share in terms of corresponding funding value stood at 53.5%.

Aurojyoti Bose, lead analyst at GlobalData, notes that this could be attributed to the “massive jump” in a number of big-ticket deals.
