Fundraising in the AI Era (2026) - a free lesson in How to Raise Venture Capital at SaaStr AI University. The market you are raising into has split in two, and pretending otherwise is how good founders set themselves up for a brutal process. The AI age did not adjust the rules. It rewrote them. Key takeaways: • Capital is more abundant and more concentrated. A small set of funds and companies took most of it in early 2026. • AI-native companies scaling fast win the mega-rounds. Most B2B founders are not competing for that money, and that is fine. • A $50M Series B for a B2B company growing 80% YoY is still fundable. Plan for your reality, not the headlines.
