Physical-AI financings ranged from Prometheus and NEURA mega-rounds to training-data and autonomy companies; the common diligence question is deployment, not demo quality.

The new funds announced in May and June point toward specialist bets in physical economy, European AI, and AI-native founders—but a fund close is not immediate deployment.

June's largest European financings favored physical AI, sovereign space, quantum, and data platforms, while a smaller set of mid-market rounds showed the market was not only mega-deals.

India's May–June funding sample improved from a selective base, with AI, mobility, travel fintech, defense, and quick commerce showing different paths to scale.

Fintech returned to large-round territory in May and June, but the strongest financings paired AI positioning with distribution, revenue, or embedded workflow evidence.

Defense financings ranged from Anduril's mega-round to drones, countermeasures, and space systems; the recurring diligence questions are procurement, manufacturing, and delivery.
