Paradigm Health Raises $78 Million Series B to Make Clinical Trials Part of Routine Care Across the U.S. and Globally

COLUMBUS, Ohio and NEW YORK, Dec. 4, 2025 — Paradigm Health, the technology company rebuilding the clinical research ecosystem, today announced an oversubscribed $78 million Series B financing. The round was led by ARCH Venture Partners, with participation from new investor DFJ Growth and existing investors F-Prime, General Catalyst, GV, Lux Capital, Mubadala Capital, the American Cancer Society’s BrightEdge Fund, and others, several of whom took super pro-rata positions.

Paradigm Health is transforming how clinical trials are conducted and broadening access for patients across the U.S. and globally. The new funding will be used to accelerate Paradigm Health’s expansion as demand grows from global biopharmaceutical companies for more efficient trials and from health systems seeking to offer trials to patients closer to where they receive routine care. Paradigm Health currently supports Phase I–III oncology trials for 15 of the top 20 global pharmaceutical companies.

“When trials run more efficiently, new treatments reach patients sooner,” said Robert Nelsen, Managing Partner at ARCH Venture Partners and Paradigm Health Co-Founder and Board Chair. “Paradigm Health is creating new infrastructure the industry desperately needs: one platform that enables hospitals and sponsors to run studies faster, more intelligently, and at far lower cost. This will accelerate the development of promising therapies and help ensure today’s patients have access to the treatments they need.”

Following Paradigm Health’s acquisition of Flatiron Health’s Clinical Research Business, the company now operates the largest oncology research network in the United States and is expanding its commercial business across neuroscience, cardiovascular disease, metabolic conditions, and other therapeutic areas with significant research needs.

“Clinical trials are how we learn and improve care for patients,” said Kent Thoelke, Chief Executive Officer of Paradigm Health. “Today, most research happens in academic centers because they have the staff and infrastructure to manage it. Patients in community and rural settings have limited access to trials, and their experiences remain underrepresented in research. This slows down trials, makes them more expensive, and misses opportunities for innovation. Paradigm Health is building a scalable trial ecosystem embedded directly into real-world clinical workflows, enabling any health system to participate in research with dramatically fewer resources.”

Paradigm Health’s platform now spans 45 U.S. states and 166 healthcare provider organizations with 2,100 care locations, placing 70% of the U.S. cancer population within easy access to a clinical trial site. This includes 123 community oncology practices and 43 health systems and academic medical centers, 23 of which are NCI-Designated Cancer Centers. The company’s AI-enabled infrastructure automates patient matching and site feasibility, and has helped health systems accrue to trials four times faster while reducing provider burden and accelerating timelines for biopharma sponsors. Paradigm Health also recently launched a Trial Design Service to enable sponsors to design and execute interventional and pragmatic trials embedded directly into routine care.

“Clinical trials are the bottleneck in getting new therapies to patients, especially as AI unlocks an unprecedented wave of drug innovation,” said Justin Kao, Partner at DFJ Growth. “Paradigm Health is the AI-native platform built for this moment, pairing breakthrough technology with the largest clinical network to make trials dramatically faster and more accessible. We’re excited to support the team as they democratize access to cutting edge therapies.”

With its national network, AI-powered platform, and trial-design capabilities, Paradigm Health is the leading partner for biopharma companies and health systems working to make clinical research a seamless part of patient care in every community where it’s needed.

About Paradigm Health‍
Paradigm Health is rebuilding the clinical research ecosystem by creating a platform that enables equitable access to trials for all patients, while enhancing trial efficiency and reducing the barriers to participation for healthcare providers. Incubated by ARCH Venture Partners and backed by leading healthcare and life sciences investors, Paradigm Health aims to break down barriers across the trial ecosystem through one seamless infrastructure implemented at healthcare provider organizations, bringing potentially life-saving therapies to patients faster.

Jane Street führt die 105 Millionen Dollar schwere Serie A von Antithesis an, um deterministische Simulationstests zum neuen Standard zu machen

Eine einzigartige Investition des Quantenhandelsriesen signalisiert einen Wandel in der Art und Weise, wie komplexe Systeme getestet werden.

TYSONS CORNER, Virginia, 4. Dezember 2025 — Antithesis gab heute eine Serie-A-Runde in Höhe von 105 Millionen US-Dollar unter der Leitung von Jane Street bekannt, dem globalen technologiegetriebenen quantitativen Handelsunternehmen, das für den Aufbau einiger der weltweit fortschrittlichsten Softwaresysteme bekannt ist. Die Investition unterstreicht die Bedeutung von Antithesis als kritische Infrastruktur für Unternehmen, die komplexe, verteilte Systeme betreiben. Jane Street ist sowohl Investor als auch Kunde von Antithesis.

Zu den weiteren Investoren gehören Amplify Venture Partners, Spark Capital, Tamarack Global, First In Ventures, Teamworthy Ventures, Hyperion Capital sowie Privatpersonen wie Patrick Collison, Dwarkesh Patel und Sholto Douglas sowie weitere neue und wiederkehrende Investoren. Das Kapital wird verwendet, um die Produktinnovation von Antithesis zu beschleunigen und die Marktpräsenz in Nordamerika, Europa sowie Asien zu erhöhen.

Softwaresysteme sind komplexer geworden, und da KI das Volumen des produzierten Codes beschleunigt, können herkömmliche Tests nicht mehr Schritt halten. Heutzutage verlassen sich die meisten Unternehmen immer noch auf beispielbasierte Tests (ob von Ingenieuren oder von KI geschrieben). Diese Methoden erfassen zwar oberflächliche Probleme, können jedoch nicht zuverlässig die tiefgreifenden, sich entwickelnden Verhaltensweisen aufdecken, die zu Ausfällen, Datenbeschädigungen und kaskadenartigen Systemausfällen führen.

Antithesis ersetzt dies durch deterministische Simulationstests: Es wird eine vollautomatisierte, massiv parallele Simulation des zu validierenden Systems ausgeführt, die monatelanges Verhalten in der produktiven Umgebung auf wenige Stunden verdichtet. Die Plattform untersucht Randfälle, injiziert häufige Fehler, validiert die Korrektheit und reproduziert jeden Fehler perfekt, sodass Ingenieure Probleme mit beispielloser Geschwindigkeit sowie Zuverlässigkeit beheben können.

„Software ist heute die Grundlage von allem, und je komplexer und verteilter Systeme werden, desto mehr braucht die Welt ein neues Testmodell, das Korrektheit garantiert”, sagte Will Wilson, Geschäftsführer von Antithesis. „Mit dieser Finanzierung bauen wir die Infrastruktur aus, die Zuverlässigkeit nicht nur erreichbar, sondern zur Selbstverständlichkeit macht, so wie wir auch erwarten, dass Ampeln jedes Mal funktionieren. Unsere Kundschaft beweist bereits, dass deterministisch validierte Systeme schneller ausgeliefert werden, ohne zu versagen, und ein tieferes Vertrauen schaffen.”

„Jane Street betreibt einige der anspruchsvollsten verteilten Systeme der Welt, und Antithesis hat uns geholfen, Probleme aufzudecken, die keine andere Testmethode finden konnte”, sagte Doug Patti, Ingenieur bei Jane Street. „Wir legen die Messlatte für Technologien, auf die wir uns verlassen, sehr hoch und für Unternehmen, in die wir investieren, sogar noch höher. Es ist zwar selten, dass wir eine frühe Runde leiten, aber Antithesis ist uns um Jahre voraus, und wir glauben, dass deterministische Simulationstests in allen Branchen grundlegend sein werden.”

Auswirkungen auf Kunden in den Bereichen Finanzen, KI, Blockchain und Dateninfrastruktur
Antithesis wird bereits von Unternehmen eingesetzt, deren Systeme nicht ausfallen dürfen:

  • Jane Street verlässt sich auf Antithesis, um komplexe verteilte Systeme zu validieren, die für den Betrieb ihres globalen Handelsgeschäfts entscheidend sind.
  • Ethereum nutzte Antithesis, um sein globales Netzwerk unter extremen Bedingungen vor The Merge zu simulieren und kritische Probleme aufzudecken, die den historischen Übergang auf Proof of Stake hätten gefährden können.
  • MongoDB nutzt Antithesis, um Kernkomponenten seiner Datenbankplattform rigoros zu testen und hilft den Ingenieuren, subtile Probleme zu erkennen, bevor sie die Kunden erreichen.

Diese Beispiele spiegeln einen schnell wachsenden Kundenstamm in den Bereichen Finanzwesen, Infrastrukturplattformen und Organisationen wider, die fortschrittliche KI-Systeme entwickeln. Antithesis hat seinen Umsatz in den vergangenen zwei Jahren um mehr als das Zwölffache gesteigert und wächst weiterhin rasant.

Verwendung der Mittel
Mit der neuen Finanzierung wird Antithesis:

  • Engineering-Teams erweitern, um ihre deterministische Simulations-Engine weiter zu stärken
  • Die Analysefähigkeit und Autonomie der Plattform weiter ausbauen
  • Eine erstklassige Vertriebs- und Marketingorganisation aufbauen
  • Markteinführungsaktivitäten in Nordamerika, Europa und Asien skalieren
  • Die Verfügbarkeit über Cloudkanäle, einschließlich des AWS Marketplace, weiter ausbauen

Informationen zu Antithesis
Antithesis ist ein grundlegend neuer Weg, um zu überprüfen, ob Software korrekt funktioniert, bevor sie veröffentlicht wird. Es führt eine vollständig deterministische, massiv-parallele Simulation durch, die in wenigen Stunden eine jahrelange Produktion unter realen Bedingungen testet. Antithesis erforscht auf intelligente Weise die entlegensten Winkel Ihrer Codebasis und fügt strategisch häufige Fehler ein, um sicherzustellen, dass sich das System immer wie vorgesehen verhält. Die Plattform reproduziert jeden gefundenen Fehler exakt in ihrer einzigartigen Umgebung zur schnellen Fehlerbehebung. Das Unternehmen hat seinen Sitz in Nord-Virginia, wurde 2018 gegründet und ist 2024 aus dem Stealth-Modus hervorgegangen. Weitere Informationen finden Sie auf https://antithesis.com/.

Informationen zu Jane Street
Jane Street ist ein globales, technologieorientiertes Handels- und Investmentunternehmen. Das im Jahr 2000 gegründete Unternehmen bietet einen forschungsorientierten Ansatz sowie quantitatives Fachwissen für Märkte auf der ganzen Welt und ist mit mehr als 3000 Beschäftigten in Büros in New York, London, Hongkong, Singapur sowie Amsterdam vertreten.

You just ask a question, get an insight, and move on. Decisions get faster, trust gets stronger, and everyone stays aligned.”

“We built Supper to feel simple on the surface. Behind the scenes, it’s incredibly powerful. The platform aggregates and cleanses customers’ data, builds out their semantic layer, and maintains data security so anyone can get answers they trust, fast,” said Andrew Salamon, Co-founder and President of Supper.

“We see enormous potential in tools that turn data into collective knowledge and sources of trust,” said Rebecca Kaden, Managing Partner at Union Square Ventures. “Supper delivers on that vision, and Lowell and Andy’s experience as founders makes them the right team to solve the problem.”

Business users gain reliable, self-serve access to data, freeing engineering and analytics teams from ad-hoc requests and dashboard work. That time shifts back to product velocity and growth.

“With Supper, our engineering team saves 7–8 hours every week on query requests from our CEO, COO, and GTM teams. It’s modernized how we work with data and helps everyone move faster,” said the CTO at a Series A SaaS company.

Jane Street lidera la ronda Serie A de 105 millones de dólares de Antithesis

-Jane Street lidera la ronda Serie A de 105 millones de dólares de Antithesis para convertir las pruebas de simulación determinista en el nuevo estándar

Una inversión única del gigante del trading cuantitativo marca un cambio en la forma en que se evaluarán los sistemas complejos.

TYSONS CORNER, Va., 3 de diciembre de 2025 — Antithesis anunció hoy una ronda de financiación Serie A de 105 millones de dólares liderada por Jane Street, la firma global de trading cuantitativo basada en tecnología, conocida por desarrollar algunos de los sistemas de software más avanzados del mundo. La inversión subraya el surgimiento de Antithesis como infraestructura crítica para empresas que operan sistemas complejos y distribuidos. Jane Street es inversora y cliente de Antithesis.

Entre los inversores adicionales se incluyen Amplify Venture Partners, Spark Capital, Tamarack Global, First In Ventures, Teamworthy Ventures, Hyperion Capital y personas como Patrick Collison, Dwarkesh Patel y Sholto Douglas, junto con otros inversores nuevos y recurrentes. El capital se utilizará para acelerar la innovación de productos de Antithesis y escalar sus operaciones de comercialización en Norteamérica, Europa y Asia.

Los sistemas de software se han vuelto más complejos y, a medida que la IA acelera el volumen de código producido, las pruebas tradicionales no pueden seguir el ritmo. Hoy en día, la mayoría de las organizaciones aún dependen de pruebas basadas en ejemplos (ya sea desarrolladas por ingenieros o por IA). Estos métodos detectan problemas superficiales, pero no pueden exponer de forma fiable los comportamientos profundos y emergentes que causan interrupciones, corrupción de datos y fallos en cascada del sistema.

Antithesis sustituye esto por pruebas de simulación deterministas: ejecuta una simulación totalmente automatizada y masivamente paralela del sistema que se está validando, que comprime meses de comportamiento de producción en horas. La plataforma explora casos extremos, inyecta fallos comunes, valida la corrección y reproduce perfectamente cualquier fallo para que los ingenieros puedan solucionar problemas con una velocidad y una confianza sin precedentes.

“El software ahora lo sustenta todo, y a medida que los sistemas se vuelven más complejos y distribuidos, el mundo necesita un nuevo modelo de pruebas que garantice la precisión”, afirmó Will Wilson, consejero delegado de Antithesis. “Con esta financiación, ampliamos la infraestructura que hace que la fiabilidad no solo sea alcanzable, sino esperable, tal como esperamos que los semáforos funcionen siempre. Nuestros clientes ya están demostrando que los sistemas validados determinísticamente se entregan más rápido, sin fallos, y generan una mayor confianza”.

“Jane Street gestiona algunos de los sistemas distribuidos más exigentes del mundo, y Antithesis nos ha ayudado a descubrir problemas que ningún otro método de pruebas podría detectar”, afirmó Doug Patti, ingeniero de Jane Street. “Tenemos estándares muy altos para la tecnología en la que confiamos, y estándares aún más altos para las empresas en las que invertimos. Si bien liderar una ronda temprana es poco común para nosotros, Antithesis lleva años de ventaja, y creemos que las pruebas de simulación deterministas se convertirán en fundamentales en todos los sectores”.

Impacto en el cliente en finanzas, IA, blockchain e infraestructura de datos
Antithesis ya es utilizado por organizaciones cuyos sistemas no pueden fallar:

  • Jane Street depende de Antithesis para validar sistemas distribuidos complejos, esenciales para el funcionamiento de su negocio de comercio global.
  • Ethereum utilizó Antithesis para simular su red global en condiciones extremas antes de la Fusión, lo que reveló problemas críticos que podrían haber puesto en peligro la histórica transición a la Prueba de Participación.
  • MongoDB utiliza Antithesis para probar rigurosamente los componentes principales de su plataforma de bases de datos, lo que ayuda a los ingenieros a detectar problemas sutiles antes de que afecten a los clientes.

Estos ejemplos reflejan una base de clientes en rápida expansión en el sector financiero, plataformas de infraestructura y organizaciones que desarrollan sistemas avanzados de IA. Antithesis ha multiplicado sus ingresos por más de 12 en los últimos dos años y continúa creciendo rápidamente.

Uso de los fondos
Con la nueva financiación, Antithesis:

  • Ampliará los equipos de ingeniería para fortalecer su motor de simulación determinista
  • Mejorará la inteligencia y la autonomía de la plataforma
  • Desarrollará una organización de ventas y marketing de primer nivel
  • Escalará las operaciones de GTM en Norteamérica, Europa y Asia
  • Aumentará la disponibilidad a través de canales en la nube, incluido AWS Marketplace

Acerca de Antithesis
Antithesis es una forma completamente nueva de validar el correcto funcionamiento del software antes de su lanzamiento. Realiza una simulación paralela masiva y totalmente determinista que prueba años de producción real en pocas horas. Antithesis explora inteligentemente los detalles de su código base, inyectando estratégicamente fallos comunes para garantizar que el sistema siempre se comporte como se espera. La plataforma reproduce a la perfección cualquier error que encuentre en su entorno único para una depuración rápida. La empresa, con sede en el norte de Virginia, se fundó en 2018 y se lanzó de forma discreta en 2024. Para más información, visite https://antithesis.com/.
