Sector mix
Healthcare topped the month with 12 rounds. Two sectors deep is usually enough for a founder deck “competitive landscape” slide — use the links below rather than a generic Google search.

Summary
This report summarises 72 startup funding notices VC Dekho collected for February 2026. We are not guessing market size — every number here comes from a public disclosure with a date, and usually a company name, amount, or investor list.
Healthcare was the busiest sector label (12 rounds, 17% of the month). Accel appeared on more notices than any other matched fund. That pattern is what founders should copy into a research sprint: read the deals, then open the funds.
About 42% of notices carried a pre-seed or seed stage label — useful if you are raising a first institutional cheque and want proof points from the same month.
What VC Dekho observed
Geography
Bengaluru led city tags with 26 notices. Metro concentration is normal in India; if you are outside the top city, anchor your story to sector and stage instead of pretending geography is evenly spread.
Investor activity
Accel led matched fund mentions (3 rounds). Treat that as a research queue, not an endorsement — open the profile, check stage and sector fit, then decide who to email.
Largest disclosed round
Neysa published $1200.00 Mn. Even if you are raising a smaller cheque, read the notice for investor names you can trace into the directory.
By the numbers
Each figure includes what it measures and what it does not — so you can cite the report without over-claiming.
72Notices published
Public disclosures VC Dekho captured with a date in this month.
+2 (+3%)Vs prior month
Compared with 70 notices in January 2026. Moves reflect disclosure volume in our feed, not a full market census.
70 / 2 hidAmount disclosed
70 notices named a round size; 2 left amount undisclosed on the public notice.
$1.7BPublished size (est.)
Rough USD total from 70 notices with parseable amounts. Median deal about $1.8M. Use for direction, not accounting.
96%Named a stage
69 of 72 notices included a stage label (pre-seed, seed, Series A, etc.).
100%Named investors
72 notices listed at least one investor. Empty fields mean the source stayed silent — we do not infer.
Compare with January 2026 report (70 notices).
When notices landed (by week of month)
Month-on-month volume
February 2026 logged 72 dated notices in VC Dekho, up from 70 in January 2026 (+3% change).
Treat that as disclosure rhythm in public sources, not proof that fewer companies raised. Late filings, quiet PR, and undisclosed amounts all show up as “missing” months before they appear in the feed.
For side-by-side context, open the January 2026 report and compare sector and investor leaderboards — that is usually more actionable than the headline count alone.
Healthcare led sector tags
Healthcare appeared on 12 notices (17% of the month). Founders in that wedge can use these comps in outreach; founders outside it should explain why their market is different, not ignore the pattern.
In January 2026, Artificial Intelligence (AI) led with 13 notices — watch whether leadership rotated or the same sector stayed hot.
Bengaluru led geography tags
Bengaluru was tagged on 26 notices. Metro concentration is normal in Indian disclosures; tier-2 raises exist but show up less often in public text.
If you are not in Bengaluru, anchor your fundraise story on sector and stage fit, and pull investor names from rounds in your actual city via the funding feed filters.
Stage mix
The most common stage label was “Seed” (23 notices). 30 notices looked early-stage (pre-seed or seed).
Stage fields are only as good as the press release — use them to filter comps, not to judge whether a company is “really” Series A.

Founder takeaway
What to do with this
For February 2026, Healthcare led disclosed activity and Accel was the most repeated fund name. Founders raising now should mirror that research path: open comparable deals, trace investors into the directory, then outreach only after stage and cheque fit look real.
