33 US AI Startups That Hit the Jackpot in 2025

Last year was huge for the AI industry in the US and beyond. A total of 49 startups secured funding rounds of $100 million or more in 2024, according to our friends at TechCrunch. Three companies even landed more than one “mega-round,” while seven others scored rounds of $1 billion or more.

The burning question now is, how does 2025 stack up to last year’s success? Well, with only a few weeks left in the third quarter, it seems like the momentum from 2024 is still going strong. Several billion-dollar rounds have already been inked this year, and a handful of companies have even snagged more than one mega-round.

Without further ado, let’s take a look at the US AI startups that have hit the $100 million jackpot this year:
