Despite a pickup in IPOs, startup exits and funding are still harder to come by than in years past. Add to that an increasingly competitive landscape for AI startups, and it’s no surprise that we’ve seen an upturn in startups buying other startups this year.

In many cases, consolidation is driven by market forces, including a more challenging fundraising environment and more affordable valuations for buyers. For other startups, it’s simply faster to buy another company than try to build out certain technologies themselves.

Venture funding ticked up modestly last quarter as investor appetite showed signs of renewed energy, bolstered by a steady drumbeat of AI enthusiasm, a rebound in M&A activity, and renewed IPO hopes.
