Startups in 43 US
states are applying artificial intelligence tech across industries like
marketing, healthcare, retail, and more.
Funding to artificial intelligence startups has been on the rise. In 2019, AI startups received a record $28.5B in funding across over 2,300 deals — a 20% increase in funding to the sector.
In 2019, the states that saw the most equity deals to AI startups were California, New York, and Massachusetts, though investors have bet on AI startups across the country.
Despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, 2020 has seen sustained momentum — AI deals declined in Q1’20, but funding jumped by 51% from the previous quarter to hit $8.4B. There have also been big exits in the space, including Amazon’s $1.2B acquisition of autonomous driving startup Zoox in June and AI-powered insurance provider Lemonade‘s eye-popping IPO in July.
