The investment is a pivotal milestone allowing Segmed to further expand its medical imaging solutions for artificial intelligence development and real-world evidence

PALO ALTO, Calif., Sept. 3, 2024 — Segmed, Inc., a leader in providing real-world imaging data for health innovation, has raised a $10.4 million Series A funding round. The oversubscribed round was led by iGan Partners and Advocate Health, with participation from Castellan Group, Engine Health Capital, Bold Brain Ventures, Fox Chase Cancer Center, and current investors including Y Combinator, Nina Capital, Nova Capital, Blumberg Capital, and Expeditions Fund. The current Series A round follows a financing by Flashpoint Growth Debt Fund received in 2023.

Since Segmed’s inception, it has been committed to unlocking diverse cohorts of imaging data to support AI development and further clinical research. We are excited to announce the next step in that journey. Segmed will use the new funding to further expand its footprint in the healthcare AI space as well as to bring medical imaging to the biopharmaceutical and life science world. Our data network of leading healthcare providers enables innovators to get access to heterogeneous and diverse de-identified imaging data that can be linked with other data types. Additionally, our technology allows clients to access, de-identify, standardize, and build cohorts of medical imaging data within their own environment.

“We are excited to partner with such a select group of health systems and healthcare technology investors to support Segmed as they continue to disrupt the healthcare industry with their innovative approach to real-world imaging data. Segmed’s platform has the potential to drive significant improvements in patient care and healthcare outcomes, and iGan stands ready to continue to support their dynamic growth and the significant impact they are poised to make on healthcare technology going forward,” said Sam Ifergan, managing partner at iGan Partners.

“Advocate Health is an industry leader in utilizing innovation to serve the health needs of individuals, families and communities,” said Emilie McKenna, managing director of strategic development and investment at Advocate Health. “We’re driven to advance the science of medicine. To that end, our team is dedicated to developing the most comprehensive provider-based research data set in the country. We look forward to supporting Segmed in the shared goal of unlocking imaging data to accelerate medical research.”

“We founded Segmed five years ago to improve patient outcomes by revolutionizing medical imaging research,” said Martin Willemink, CEO and co-founder at Segmed. “We are thrilled to have the continued support from investors like iGan Partners and Y Combinator, as well as the addition of clinical powerhouses like Advocate Health and Fox Chase Cancer Center. Their expertise and experience will be invaluable as we continue to develop cutting-edge solutions for the future.

“Segmed deeply appreciates the support and confidence demonstrated by these significant investments and strategic partnerships to reshape the landscape of medical imaging utilization, ultimately advancing health care,” he said.

About Segmed, Inc.
Segmed, Inc. collaborates with life-sciences, health care and technology firms to streamline access to medical imaging studies for advancing biopharmaceutical R&D, AI development and enhancing global health care initiatives. Segmed acquires, de-identifies, standardizes and subsequently provides medical imaging data to researchers and innovators in AI/ML and Real-World Imaging Data (RWiD) through its proprietary data platform.

By partnering with thousands of health care locations and imaging clinics across five continents, researchers and AI developers can access the studies they need.

Purpose-built for three dynamic market segments—private equity (PE) and venture capital-backed (VC) portfolio companies (portcos), and fast-growing independent entrepreneurial businesses—this new service provides high-quality in-house GC support to companies at critical stages of their evolution, where legal complexities and requirements are mounting but the costs and commitment of a full-time in-house general counsel aren’t yet warranted.

AA&C’s Fractional GC Services are tailor-made to meet the risk, compliance, and legal standards of investment sponsors, bolster enterprise risk management and controls, and prepare companies for the rigorous due diligence that impacts valuation, capital raises, and exits. The Services flexibly scale from a few hours per week to full-time General Counsel support, navigating the legal challenges relevant and unique to each type of organization.

AA&C’s Fractional GC Services are led by partners with past GC and in-house legal experience, who have access to Axiom’s expansive bench of high-quality legal talent, all to address the practice areas that concern PE- and VC-backed ventures and thriving small businesses. Practices include AI, M&A, commercial contracts, labor and employment, real estate, IP, and more—all while delivering savings up to 25% less than traditional Arizona-located law firms.

“Legal work in these companies is often handled by a CFO, COO, or other C-suite member as a side responsibility, supplemented by law firms charging high rates that are ultimately unsustainable,” said Catherine Kemnitz, Managing Director for Axiom Advice & Counsel and Chief Strategy & Development Officer at Axiom. “This strategy increases risk and hampers regulatory readiness, which creates significant challenges when competing for capital where sponsors will also weigh their risk. It also fails to capitalize on potential revenue growth opportunities, particularly through sales cycle acceleration. Our Fractional GC Services can make all the difference in the next capital raise, next growth chapter, or exit, because they help high-growth companies be focused and prepared.”

Moreover, these three market segments are often interconnected, with companies moving from high-growth Series A-D rounds to being backed by private equity as their investment life cycle advances. AA&C’s Fractional GC Services are designed to meet the specific legal needs of these distinct yet interrelated market segments by providing tailored services with industry-specific support and experience for each.

• AA&C Fractional GC Service for Private Equity Portcos: For PE-backed portcos, untended compliance and risk issues can delay or even scuttle a possible transaction, and can also reduce value realized. The Fractional GC lead partner, working with high-quality Axiom lawyers, assesses the risk profile of the portco, standardizes compliance best practices, resolves ongoing legal issues, and helps the portco maintain transaction readiness for potential due diligence. This agile approach allows portcos to implement consistent legal strategies, enhance value, reduce risk, and unlock growth opportunities. With the right legal setup, portcos can accelerate sales processes and compete more effectively for top talent, positioning themselves for increased market competitiveness and value creation.
• AA&C Fractional GC Service for Venture-Backed Startups: For VC-backed startups, rapid scaling and disruptive innovation can cause neglected compliance, risk, and legal issues to hinder fundraising rounds or jeopardize potential exits. The Fractional GC lead partner, working with specialized Axiom lawyers, establishes robust legal foundations, business processes, and compliance measures, supporting hypergrowth while mitigating risk. By providing startups with on-demand GC services, VC-backed companies can efficiently and effectively round out their C-suite, bringing seasoned legal expertise to the leadership team without diverting critical resources from core product development and market expansion efforts. This strategy navigates complex regulatory landscapes and enhances decision-making, positioning startups for sustainable growth and success.
• AA&C Fractional GC Service for High-Growth Small Businesses: For founders, leaders, and operators of high-growth entrepreneurial businesses, navigating legal complexities can be overwhelming and potentially threaten long-term business health. The Fractional GC lead partner, drawing on Axiom’s deep bench of experienced lawyers, provides valuable counsel, affordable legal support to assess and address key risk areas and compliance needs, and provides guidance on day-to-day legal matters. This approach allows leaders at these companies to remain focused on the core business while helping preserve their balance sheet by avoiding exorbitant law firm costs.

“Leaders of businesses backed by private capital often have to make difficult choices between enabling growth and preserving capital,” said Andrea Liburdi, Partner at Axiom Advice & Counsel. “Our Fractional GC Services meet this challenge head on. You get a one-stop shop with the ability to quickly assemble and access a high-quality legal team, as well as get specialized help when the need arises—and all for less than you might expect to spend with a traditional law firm. The result is a flexible legal function that’s a valuable contributor to and enabler of growth.”

BOSTON, Sept. 3, 2024 — Somite Therapeutics, a fully integrated TechBio company leveraging big data and AI to introduce novel cell replacement therapies, today announced a $4.8M extension of its pre-seed round, only 6 months after the initial raise, bringing total funds raised to over $10M.

“With most of the funds still in the bank, we were not planning to fundraise until 2025,” noted Dr. Micha Breakstone, Founder and CEO of Somite Therapeutics. “However, when Astellas Venture Management and Montage Ventures approached us, it was clear that they could add significant strategic value. Astellas Pharma and Astellas Institute for Regenerative Medicine (a wholly owned subsidiary of Astellas, “AIRM”) focus on regenerative medicine and cell therapy research in ophthalmology and other therapeutic areas that have few or no available treatment options, while Montage Ventures has built a robust thesis and has deep insights into this space, so we decided to extend the round.”

The additional funding will be used to expedite data generation to train Somite’s AI platform, AlphaStem, advance SMT-M01 toward the clinic, start a second clinical program, SMT-B01, using brown adipocytes to treat metabolic disorders, and begin research with hypoimmune cell lines.

“We are thrilled to partner with Somite and support their innovative approach to AI-driven cell therapies,” said Dr. Nagisa Sakurai, Senior Investment Manager at Astellas Venture Management, who will be joining Somite as a Board Observer. “Somite’s work in vertically integrated AI-driven cell therapy aligns perfectly with Astellas’ focus. We see great potential for impactful synergies between our companies.”

“Among numerous companies in the TechBio space, Somite stood out as the most aligned with our vision of AI-driven novel therapeutic modalities,” said Dr. Daphne Che, who will also be joining Somite as a Board Observer. “We firmly believe that Somite will emerge as a leader in fully integrated AI-driven cell therapy.”

Additional investors joining the round include Nachum Shamir, former Chairman and CEO of Luminex, and Paul and Dr. Kendra Harris, a renowned clinician with extensive experience in clinical trials, who will also be joining Somite’s Scientific Advisory Board.

BERLIN and BOSTON, Sept. 3, 2024 — Monda, the all-in-one data monetization platform, today announced it has raised $5 million in seed funding. The round was led by Senovo and Acrobator Ventures, with participation from Techstars. The capital will be used to expand operations in the US, grow its partner ecosystem, and enhance its platform to make data monetization easier for companies of all sizes.

Monda’s software helps companies easily start, run, and scale their data business. Seeing rapid growth in 2024, Monda’s all-in-one data monetization platform is already used by over 150 data-as-a-service (DaaS) companies creating more than 6,000 data products. Monda has built key partnerships and integrations with world-leading cloud data marketplaces from Google Cloud, Databricks, and SAP. Since the beginning of the year, the team has doubled to 32 people. Additionally, Monda is opening its first US office in Boston in Fall 2024 to better serve North American customers, which account for 50% of its customer base. Monda was founded by serial entrepreneurs and data industry veterans Thani Shamsi and Richard Hoffmann as a spin-off from Berlin-based Datarade, the largest comparison platform for data providers.

Thani Shamsi, Founder & CEO of Monda, said, “AI has created massive demand for high-quality and unique datasets for training models. Companies have realized that there’s a huge business opportunity in monetizing their proprietary data, but many are struggling to navigate an increasingly complex global data market. I’ve seen these challenges first-hand working for a data provider. We created Monda to make it extremely easy for any company to start and build a safe, fast-growing, and sustainable data business – fueling the AI revolution.”

AI companies are rushing to secure access to proprietary datasets to train and refine their models, prompting data-rich companies like Reddit, Shutterstock, and Yelp to strike multi-million dollar AI data licensing deals. Yet technical, legal, and operational challenges are keeping companies from monetizing their data assets: Building a successful data-as-a-service business involves creating data products, integrating with a multitude of data marketplaces, training a data salesforce, managing cross-cloud data sharing, and handling data subscriptions.

Mona Gindler, Partner at Senovo, said, “As buying and monetizing data is entering the mainstream, data providers need better tools to handle the increasing complexity of the data market. Monda helps them reach more customers while reducing operational efforts, putting the company in a great position to lead this emerging software category. Thani and Richard have built a fantastic team and culture in Berlin, and we are excited to support their expansion into the US with the new Boston office.”

Monda’s data monetization platform has three key differentiators: Firstly, the product is easy-to-use, enabling business users to create data products and publish them on their own data storefront or data marketplaces in clicks. Secondly, Monda’s all-in-one vertical SaaS approach enables companies to run and manage their entire data business on one platform. Thirdly, customers value Monda’s world-class service and support from an international success team and data monetization experts. Part of the seed funding will be used to further develop data integrations with cloud platforms, support unstructured data products, and release additional regulatory compliance features.

Richard Hoffmann, Founder & President of Monda, said, “Opening our first US office in Boston marks a pivotal moment for Monda, our US customers, and for me personally. I’m currently relocating with my family from Germany to the United States, in order to fully dedicate myself to the success and growth of our US customer base and our local team. The US has always been our most important market as a hotbed of innovation in data and AI.”

LONDON, Sept. 3, 2024 — Just two weeks after its groundbreaking introduction, AISQ is thrilled to announce that over 200 small business owners have successfully implemented and experienced the full capabilities of Next Level Marketing, the world’s first fully automated, end-to-end marketing system. These businesses have now harnessed the power of AI to autonomously manage their marketing—from content creation to distribution across search engines, social media, and email newsletters—with only minor inputs required from them.

A Milestone in AI-Driven Marketing

This milestone marks a historic moment in the evolution of digital marketing. For the first time in history, small business owners have been able to set up and execute a comprehensive marketing strategy entirely driven by AI, requiring only approval on content and minimal edits. The system has demonstrated its ability to carry out all marketing tasks—research, planning, scheduling, publishing, and promotion—on behalf of the business, seamlessly integrating across all digital channels.

“We knew we were onto something revolutionary, but seeing it in action with real businesses has exceeded even our expectations,” said Florin Muresan, CEO of AISQ. “These 200 business owners are not just using an AI tool; they are pioneers in the next chapter of marketing evolution. They’ve experienced firsthand what it means to have an entire marketing department run autonomously by AI. The results have been incredible, and we’re just getting started.”

Transformative Results and Real-World Impact

The initial test group of small business owners, carefully selected based on their commitment to provide detailed feedback, has reported significant success in setting up and running the system end-to-end. The results speak for themselves:

• Automated SEO Success: Users have successfully published new content to their websites, which was automatically indexed by search engines, driving increased organic traffic.
• Social Media Engagement: AI-driven social media posts have been scheduled and published across multiple platforms, maintaining consistent engagement with followers.
• Email Marketing Efficiency: Email newsletters were generated, personalized, and sent out without manual input, saving time and ensuring timely communication with customers.

These early adopters have validated the system’s ability to handle all facets of digital marketing, allowing them to focus on running their businesses rather than managing complex marketing tasks.

The Road Ahead: Expanding Access

With the successful implementation of Next Level Marketing by this initial group, AISQ is gearing up for a broader launch (and including new languages, not just English). The company is preparing to invite more businesses to experience the system.

“This is just the beginning,” added Muresan. “Our goal is to make Next Level Marketing accessible to businesses around the world. We’re refining the system based on the valuable feedback we’ve received, and we can’t wait to roll it out to a wider audience. The potential here is enormous, and we’re excited to be at the forefront of this revolution.”

Businesses interested in being part of the next wave of users for Next Level Marketing are encouraged to visitwww.aisq.com to learn more and register their interest. As the system prepares for broader release, AISQ is committed to ensuring that every user can achieve seamless, fully automated marketing success.

– Las rondas finales de la Copa del Mundo de la Iniciativa Empresarial se celebran en el Biban Forum 24 y ofrecen acceso a un millón de dólares en premios en metálico

RIAD, Arabia Saudí, 2 de septiembre de 2024 — Arabia Saudí sigue aumentando su prestigio como centro de inversión de categoría mundial, atrayendo a emprendedores de todo el mundo para crear asociaciones de impacto, innovar, lanzar y ampliar sus empresas orientadas al futuro. El Reino está dispuesto a consolidar su reputación como cuna del espíritu empresarial basado en la innovación, con Riad como sede de las rondas finales de la Entrepreneurship World Cup (EWC): uno de los concursos de pitch más grandes, ambiciosos y completos de su clase.

El torneo, que se celebrará durante el Biban Forum 24, el principal foro de empresas emergentes, emprendimiento y PYMEs del Reino, ofrecerá a las empresas emergentes de 151 países la oportunidad de ganar 1.000.000 de dólares en metálico en premios y acceder a capital inicial y de ampliación, nuevas conexiones, tutoría e ideas.

Con Biban Forum 24 como telón de fondo, el EWC servirá de trampolín para que la próxima generación de inversores y empresarios desarrolle todo su potencial.  En consonancia con el espíritu de la edición de este año del Biban Forum, que se celebrará en el Riyadh Front Exhibition & Conference Center del 5 al 9 de noviembre de 2024 bajo el lema Destino Global de Oportunidades. El concurso de ideas pondrá de relieve el ingenio y la inventiva de los líderes empresariales del mañana.

Creado por primera vez en 2019 por la Global Entrepreneurship Network y la Fundación Misk de Arabia Saudí, el EWC ha acogido a más de 400.000 emprendedores que compiten por diversas recompensas económicas y oportunidades de crecimiento. Desde su creación, el concurso ha conectado a fundadores con más de 4 millones de dólares en premios en efectivo.

El año pasado, la final mundial del EWC se celebró en el Biban Forum 23, donde se enfrentaron 100 empresas innovadoras de 53 países. La competición marcó un hito importante para el espíritu empresarial saudí, ya que WhiteHelmet, una empresa nacional, fue anunciada como la primera empresa emergente saudí en ganar el gran premio de EWC, llevándose a casa 300.000 dólares.

Sami Ibrahim Alhussaini, gobernador de la Autoridad General de la Pequeña y Mediana Empresa, «Monsha’at», declaró: “Estamos encantados de acoger una vez más la Copa del Mundo de la Iniciativa Empresarial en Riad. El espíritu empresarial es la espina dorsal de nuestra economía, y nos enorgullece enormemente provocar un cambio positivo, no sólo en Arabia Saudí sino en todo el mundo, dotando a las empresas y a los empresarios del futuro de las herramientas necesarias para construir un mañana más próspero”.
