 Silicon Valley venture capital firms are riding an AI-fueled wave amid economic turbulence, with massive funding rounds and strategic shifts defining late 2025. According to TradingKey's recap of top AI events, hyperscalers like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Meta ramped capital expenditures from $256 billion in 2024 to a projected $443 billion in 2025, fueling an AI boom that propelled Nvidia to a $5 trillion market cap on $500 billion in chip orders. Goldman Sachs reports these giants will triple spending to $1.4 trillion from 2025 to 2027, betting big on compute power despite ROI skepticism.

Notable deals highlight the frenzy. Meta splashed over $2 billion on Chinese AI startup Manus, per Fortune, underscoring Zuckerberg's spending spree and geopolitical tensions in talent sourcing. True Ventures, managing $6 billion, stuck to seed-stage discipline with $3-6 million checks amid mega-rounds for OpenAI, xAI, and Anthropic, as Silicon Valley Business Journal notes late-stage AI skew in 2025. True co-founder Jon Callaghan warns of risks in circular financing for hyperscalers' $5 trillion CapEx, calling it a capital-intense cycle.

Firms are responding to challenges like DeepSeek's efficient open-source models challenging compute hegemony, per Deutsche Bank, and an emerging AI bubble with credit risks. Storage stocks like Micron and Western Digital surged 250-600% on AI data demands, TradingKey reports, while Intel's government-backed revival eyes onshoring. Investment shifts favor AI infrastructure over pure models, with Morgan Stanley forecasting $700 billion CapEx in 2027 from cloud giants plus CoreWeave.

Climate tech and diversity get nods but lag AI dominance; European spinouts raised $9.1 billion in deep tech per Dealroom, inspiring U.S. funds, though growth capital gaps persist with U.S. money filling late-stage voids. Regulatory changes, like U.S. stakes in Intel, signal state capitalism in chips.

These trends point to a future where VC consolidates around enduring AI leaders, prioritizing sustainable moats in energy, storage, and custom chips like Broadcom's ASICs over hype. Bubbles may burst, but compute as power endures, reshaping Silicon Valley into a battleground of capital endurance.
