- More than 200 AI and machine learning companies have raised at least $50 million so far this year, according to data from PitchBook.
- It's been one of the few bright spots in a startup ecosystem that has seen investment dwindle.
- OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT that was recently valued at a reported $86 billion, topped the list.
Despite an overall slump in startup funding, 2023 saw a scramble among investors to pour money into AI and machine learning startups.
OpenAI became a household name with the launch of ChatGPT and notched a $10 billion investment from Microsoft and a reported valuation of more than $80 billion. And the company's star still appears to be rising, despite a messy leadership struggle that recently spilled into public view. Meanwhile OpenAI's perennial rival Anthropic attracted multi-billion dollar investments from both Google and Amazon to fund a competing AI model known as Claude.
Databricks made one of the biggest generative AI acquisitions ever with its $1.3 billion purchase of startup MosaicML while seemingly unsexy AI infrastructure providers like Coreweave, Hugging Face, and LangChain become Silicon Valley darlings. At the same time legacy companies from John Deere to accounting firm PwC played up their AI bona fides to capitalize on the hype.
The flood of investment doesn't appear to be slowing down any time soon, so to help you keep track of the fundraising feeding frenzy, Business Insider has compiled a list of the AI and machine learning startups that have raised at least $50 million so far this year, according to data from PitchBook as of November. The list doesn't include startups who have not publicly released the amount of their funding rounds.
