Investment firms of wealthy individuals halted their business in March due to the Iran conflict, making 39 direct investments in companies that month, a 25% decrease from February. However, these firms continue making significant investments, with a quarter of these investments being part of mega-rounds or fundraises exceeding $100 million. The funds were raised through a $1.03 billion seed round for Advanced Machine Intelligence, which is training artificial intelligence models on real-world sensory data.
