Vertical AI Agents Now 48% of 2026 Deals and 55% of Capital — Anchored by Legora's Record $550M Legal-AI Round
Vertical AI has become the main investable surface in agentic AI, accounting for 48.3% of 2026 year-to-date deals and 54.6% of capital per Euclid/tracker data, spanning legal, healthcare operations, procurement, compliance, and insurance. The anchor is Legora's $550M Series D at $5.55B (early April) — the largest legal-AI round in history — alongside Abridge's $316M Series E extension in healthcare. These agents win by selling completed work in a specific domain, not horizontal seats. (Round dates noted to contextualize the accelerating vertical shift.)
