AI Venture Index (66 early-stage companies, ranked by VentureSignal)

Early-stage view: pre-seed through Series A. Companies whose latest sourced round is Series B or later are left out, and so is any company whose only round is $100M or more with no stage stated. That is a rule for this view only: it assigns no stage to those companies and does not change their profiles. See all companies →

This is a count of companies whose evidence is sufficient to publish a profile — not a list of qualified leads. Whether a company is a fit for a seed/Series-A sourcing buyer is a separate decision, assessed company by company and counted separately: qualified prospects →

Each score is a cross-signal composite. The strip under it shows the three families it’s built from — funding, package adoption, and developer momentum — lit when present, and how many of the three back the score. Fewer signals means a coverage-discounted score, not a missing one.
