Other countries prominent in high-value VC deal volume included Germany, Israel, Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Spain. Each of these countries had more than 90 high-value VC deals during H1 2025, with deals valued more than or equal to $100 million.

In summary, the US led overwhelmingly, with China, India, and the UK trailing but still key players in high-value VC investments for the first half of 2025. The report underscores the US's dominance in the global VC landscape, with other prominent countries, such as China, India, and the UK, playing significant roles in this dynamic market.
