Vertical AI Agents Took 48.3% of 2026 Agentic Deals and 54.6% of Capital, With Legal Leading at $604.3M and Construction Up to Six Deals
Aggregated deal data through the August 2025–July 2026 window shows 73 vertical AI rounds totaling $3.07B, with legal, insurance, construction and healthcare taking roughly three quarters of the capital on just over half the deals — legal leads by dollars at $604.3M, healthcare by deal count at 12 rounds, construction climbing to 6 deals and $119M. Within the broader agentic market, vertical AI agents account for 48.3% of 2026 year-to-date deals and 54.6% of capital. Skan AI's $63M on August 12 sits squarely in the pattern: investors are underwriting vertical software specifically where it can compress labor-heavy workflows rather than sell seats.
