34 deals : Jaaq (£13M) + Musk's Terafab + 32 others
💰 34 new AI deals profiled below by category.
Continued momentum in Health AI with 6 deals, including UK's Jaaq raising £13m for mental health product expansion into the US, led by Meridian Health Ventures and Fuel Ventures.
Elon Musk also unveiled Terafab - a Tesla / SpaceX / xAI JV to build a vertically integrated chip fab in Texas, the largest ever built. The $20–25B project is driven by Musk's frustration that TSMC and Samsung can't produce chips fast enough for his AI and robotics needs, particularly Optimus robots which could require 50x Tesla's current chip demand. Morgan Stanley pegs total capex at $35–45B and doesn't expect first output until mid-2028 — with the announcement conveniently timed ahead of a potential SpaceX IPO this spring.
