The 50 most recent AI funding rounds in Palo Alto run from September 2024 through November 2025, a window that includes several of the largest venture checks written in the sector. Luma AI's $900M Series C (November 22, 2025) leads the set, followed by Modular's $250M Series C (September 2025), Genspark's $200M Series B (November 2025), and SandboxAQ's $150M Series E (April 2025). November 2025 alone saw seven rounds close — the most concentrated single month in the dataset — six of which disclosed amounts of $50M or more.

Pre-Seed check sizes range from $130K (Kopernicus AI) to $500K (Proception, BuildQ, Innate). Eudia's $105M Series A in February 2025 is a clear outlier for that stage. Nine rounds carry undisclosed amounts, including Safe Superintelligence, Augment Code, Apex.AI, and You.com.
