Market Context: Funding vs. Acquisition
While funding remains active, M&A activity has arguably outpaced venture capital impact in late 2025.
- The ServiceNow Factor: In 2025 alone, ServiceNow spent $11.6 billion acquiring security startups (including Armis for $7.75B and Veza for $1B), spending more in one year than the entire AI security startup ecosystem raised in two.
- Consolidation of Leaders: Several high-profile startups that would have raised subsequent rounds were instead acquired in 2025, including Lakera ($300M by Check Point), Gretel.ai ($320M by NVIDIA), and Robust Intelligence ($400M by Cisco).
