Are we investing in the right areas to mitigate our most significant risks?
The World Economic Forum’s 2025 Global Risks Report ranks the top threats to our future:
Armed conflict
Extreme weather
Misinformation
Societal polarization
Cyber insecurity
Now here’s where the money went in 2024:
AI: 58% of global VC funding
Cybersecurity: $9.5B (up 9%)
Climate tech: $56B (down 29%)

Is venture capital building the future the world needs — or just the one it can monetize?
