Radial Launches with $50 Million to Expand Access to Advanced Brain Medicine

NEW YORK, Dec. 9, 2025Radial today announced the company has raised $50 million in venture funding to create access to the world’s most advanced mental health treatments. The company is backed by General Catalyst, who led the Series A, and additional investors Solari Capital, JSL Health Capital, Founder Collective, BoxGroup, Scrub Capital, and Diede van Lamoen.

New brain medicines – treatments like neuromodulation (e.g. accelerated transcranial magnetic stimulation, (TMS)) and rapid-acting medications (e.g. Spravato) that directly heal the brain – are achieving far better outcomes for patients with mental health conditions. These treatments work in days to weeks, with some studies showing remission rates as high as 78%. However, the current healthcare system is designed to deliver long-term medication-based management, not the more episodic interventional brain medicine supported by modern evidence. Further, the system does not measure outcomes, which limits payors ability to pay for the best care possible, and clinicians lack the best clinical decision support and operational tools to enable these new forms of care at scale.

Radial is addressing this problem for patients, providers, and payers by developing clinical infrastructure, reimbursement tools, and decision support that’s designed around modern brain medicine. The company is building a national network of clinics that accept most major forms of insurance, including Medicare, Tricare, VA-CCN, Aetna, Cigna, United, and many Blues plans. For patients, this means the most effective combination of therapies are available to everyone who needs them. For clinicians, this means focusing on providing that care. And, for payors, this means better outcomes and less ultimate cost for even the most complex patients.

John Capecelatro, CEO and co-founder of Radial, commented, “People who are struggling with mental health can’t wait years to see if something might help through trial and error. New rapid-acting treatments work in days or weeks instead of years. We’re seeing remission rates for depression of 50-60% and as high as 78% in some studies our team has co-authored. The healthcare system hasn’t caught up. Radial is here to change that. When we have tools for the right clinical workflows and insurance pathways, people can access therapies that help them get better far sooner. It’s a dramatic difference for individuals, for families, and for the health system that ends up carrying the cost when care drags on without results.”

Reva Nohria, Partner at General Catalyst, said, “Psychiatry is undergoing a transformation, but most of that progress hasn’t reached patients. The science is there, yet the infrastructure to deliver modern, brain-based treatments at scale is still missing. Radial understands both the clinical evidence and the operational complexity required to close that gap. We believe this work can meaningfully expand access to effective mental health care.”

Owen Muir, Chief Medical Officer at Radial, added, “In research, we’ve proven that these powerful treatments work. They change lives. The hard part has always been bringing them into everyday clinical practice. Radial was built to close that gap. We’re taking what we know from years of clinical research and turning it into care that any patient can access. Radial is focused on the care patients have long deserved.”

Radial currently operates with seven clinics in six states, supported by its proprietary software platform. This fundraising will support the company’s plans to expand nationally in 2026, growing both its clinic network and technology partnerships.

a2z Radiology AI Raises $4.5M Seed Round to Scale Comprehensive CT Interpretation

Funding from Khosla Ventures and SeaX Ventures follows FDA clearance and RSNA 2025 debut; company advances toward commercial deployment

BOSTON, Dec. 9, 2025a2z Radiology AI, developer of AI systems for comprehensive medical imaging interpretation, today announced a $4.5M seed round with participation from Khosla Ventures and SeaX Ventures. The funding will accelerate commercial deployment of the company’s FDA-cleared triage system and continued R&D toward broader imaging interpretation capabilities.

The investment comes on the heels of two milestones: FDA clearance for a2z-Unified-Triage, the first system to simultaneously triage seven urgent conditions on abdomen-pelvis CT scans in the U.S. market, and the company’s debut at RSNA 2025, where it presented the first prospective study evaluating AI-assisted preliminary report drafting for abdomen-pelvis CT.

That study demonstrated that AI assistance reduced reporting time by 17.8%, increased radiologist confidence by 14.8%, and decreased mental demand by 22.4%—while improving detection of findings without increasing false positives. The results offer early evidence that comprehensive AI can meaningfully improve both accuracy and efficiency, addressing longstanding questions about the real-world value of radiology AI.

“Radiology is one of the areas that will benefit the most from AI, ensuring no disease goes undetected,” said Vinod Khosla of Khosla Ventures. “While others focus on single conditions, a2z is able to evaluate imaging for a broad range of issues, bringing us closer to the comprehensive capabilities of a real-life radiologist.”

“Radiology is central to modern medicine, but delays can slow down care when timely answers are essential,” said Dr. Kid Parchariyanon, Founder and Managing Partner of SeaX Ventures. “a2z is meeting this challenge with technology that brings expert-level support directly to clinicians. We’re proud to support a2z as they build the tools that make a meaningful difference for providers and patients worldwide.”

With imaging demand outpacing the radiology workforce, clinicians face growing wait times for reads that guide critical decisions. Abdomen-pelvis CT alone accounts for over 20 million exams annually in the U.S.—the highest-volume CT category. a2z’s approach differs from existing AI solutions that address single conditions: the company is building toward systems that can evaluate imaging comprehensively, the way radiologists actually work.

“The response at RSNA validated what we’ve been building—AI that considers everything from A to Z in each study,” said Pranav Rajpurkar, PhD, co-founder of a2z Radiology AI and Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School. “This funding lets us keep pushing on R&D while bringing our cleared technology to the care teams who need it.”

“We’re building toward comprehensive interpretation of complex imaging studies at a level that simply hasn’t existed before,” said Samir Rajpurkar, co-founder and CEO.

The funding will support partnerships with health systems, continued product development, and commercial rollout in 2026.

About a2z Radiology AI

a2z Radiology AI is building the intelligence layer for medical imaging, making radiologist-level interpretation accessible on demand. The company develops AI systems that provide immediate answers to questions about CT scans, starting with comprehensive abdomen-pelvis analysis and expanding across imaging modalities and anatomies.

QuEra Computing Marks Record 2025 as the Year of Fault Tolerance and Over $230M of New Capital to Accelerate Industrial Deployment

With landmark demonstrations of quantum error correction and new backing from Google Quantum AI, NVIDIA, SoftBank, and other global investors, QuEra advances from scientific breakthroughs to preparing for industrial-scale deployment.

BOSTON, Dec. 9, 2025 — QuEra Computing, the leader in neutral-atom quantum computing, today highlighted 2025 as a defining year for QuEra and the quantum industry. In 2025, QuEra and its partners at Harvard, MIT, and Yale resolved the fundamental barriers to fault-tolerant quantum computing, demonstrating continuous operation, scalable error correction, magic state distillation, and dramatically reduced runtime overhead. Simultaneously, the company secured over $230 million in capital from top-tier investors and major industry partners to expand globally, complete development initiatives and scale manufacturing. QuEra also achieved record revenues and cash collections from customers for quantum computing product and service deliveries, marking its transition from research organization to commercial enterprise. By uniting these scientific breakthroughs with the company’s first on-premises HPC quantum computer deployment, QuEra has established 2025 as the year fault tolerance moved from theoretical promise to engineering reality.

“2025 marked a turning point, where the foundational science behind our market-leading neutral atom quantum computing matured into a clear and validated path forward,” said Andy Ory, CEO of QuEra Computing. “Working closely with our partners at Harvard and MIT, we collectively validated the entire architectural blueprint for a large-scale, error-corrected quantum computer. With backing from the world’s leaders in AI and compute, and our first systems live in hybrid HPC environments, QuEra is now executing on the quickest and most credible path to quantum utility.”

Scientific Validation: The Blueprint for Scale
Four landmark papers published in Nature this year have resolved the critical engineering risks facing neutral-atom quantum scaling. Unlike superconducting or trapped-ion approaches that increasingly struggle with cryogenic cooling, wiring, connectivity, or control complexity as they scale, QuEra’s neutral-atom platform has now demonstrated the unique physical capabilities required for massive scale:

  • Solving the Scale Barrier (Continuous Operation): This is the first demonstration of a quantum system that can replenish qubits indefinitely, enabling continuous operation at scale. In a breakthrough led by Harvard and MIT, researchers demonstrated a 3,000-qubit array operating continuously for over two hours, utilizing unique mid-computation replenishment to solve the “atom loss” problem. (Nature)
  • Solving the Error Barrier (Fault Tolerance): This architecture validates that increasing the system size now reduces errors rather than multiplying them. The Harvard-led team demonstrated the first integrated fault-tolerant architecture, successfully executing algorithms with up to 96 logical qubits with error rates that improved as the system scaled (below-threshold performance). (Nature)
  • Solving the Utility Barrier (Magic States): This proves that neutral atoms can efficiently prepare the high-fidelity resources needed for complex, universal algorithms. Led by QuEra scientists, the team achieved the first logical magic state distillation, a prerequisite for running universal, complex algorithms beyond simple proofs of concept. (Nature)
  • Solving the Overhead Barrier (Algorithmic Fault Tolerance): This framework dramatically reduces the runtime cost of error correction, enabling fault-tolerant algorithms to execute 10-100× faster. In collaboration with Harvard and Yale, researchers introduced Transversal Algorithmic Fault Tolerance (AFT), proving that each logical layer of an algorithm can be executed with a single error-checking round rather than dozens. (Nature)

The Neutral-Atom Advantage

QuEra’s rapid progress is driven by the unique architecture of its neutral-atom platform. Unlike manufactured qubits that are fixed in place and require individual wiring, neutral atoms are identical by nature, controlled wirelessly by lasers, and highly mobile. This mobility enables the dynamic rearrangement of qubits for efficient algorithms and novel error correction techniques. Uniquely, QuEra systems support room-temperature operation and low power consumption, enabling a compact, energy-efficient footprint.

Delivering Immediate Scientific Impact

Beyond laying the foundation for future fault tolerance, QuEra’s platforms are generating breakthrough science today. In June, researchers from the University of Innsbruck and Harvard used QuEra’s Aquila system to observe string breaking in a 2D quantum simulator for the first time—a phenomenon central to high-energy particle physics (Nature). In September, a Harvard-QuEra-MIT collaboration published the first digital quantum simulation of two-dimensional fermionic systems using Kitaev’s honeycomb model, verifying a non-Abelian spin-liquid phase and simulating the Fermi-Hubbard model on a square lattice. This opens pathways for quantum simulations in materials science, chemistry, and high-energy physics (Nature). This result headlines a broader wave of discovery, with dozens of papers published by scientific users leveraging QuEra’s systems via the cloud to explore frontiers in physics, machine learning, and optimization.

Industrialization: Validated by Leaders in AI and Compute
Following these technical validations, the broader computing industry has moved to integrate QuEra’s technology into the global supply chain.

  • Capital for Manufacturing Scale: QuEra closed more than $230 million in new financing round led by Google Quantum AI and SoftBank Vision Fund 2, with an additional strategic investment from NVentures (NVIDIA), and other global investors. This capital accelerates the manufacturing infrastructure and supply chain required to deliver systems globally. Further, QuEra doubled its global workforce this year, with additional significant growth planned for 2026.
  • Global Manufacturing Infrastructure: Complementing this capital, QuEra was selected for Japan’s NEDO “Post-5G” initiative, a multi-year national project to establish a robust manufacturing supply chain for quantum components. This partnership secures the critical optical and vacuum technologies needed to mass-produce neutral-atom systems for the global market.
  • Hybrid Compute Reality: QuEra completed its first on-premises installation at AIST (Japan), where its Gemini-class system now operates alongside the NVIDIA-powered ABCI-Q supercomputer. Further validating this hybrid future, QuEra and Dell Technologies showcased the integration of QPUs into mainstream HPC environments at SC25.
  • Enterprise Readiness: The expansion of the “go to market” QuEra Quantum Alliance to include BCG X, a partnership with Deloitte Japan, alongside impactful results with partners like Merck and Amgen, signals that the enterprise sector is preparing for utility-scale applications. Additionally, QuEra’s advancement to Phase 2 of the Wellcome Leap Quantum for Bio Challenge demonstrates the platform’s growing relevance for life sciences applications.
  • Government Validation: As previously announced, QuEra was selected for Phase B of DARPA’s Quantum Benchmarking Initiative, following success in Phase A.

Strategic Implications for the Industry
These milestones materially reduce the risk profile for HPC centers, national laboratories, and enterprise early adopters:

  • For HPC Centers: The successful integration with Dell and NVIDIA infrastructure proves that neutral-atom QPUs can function as standard accelerators within existing data centers today.
  • For National Programs: The company’s selection for DARPA’s Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (Stage A, and then Stage B), combined with the demonstration of logical qubits, provides a verified roadmap to utility. These de-risk long-term investments in sovereign quantum capabilities, a strategy further validated by NEDO’s supply chain investment with QuEra in Japan.
  • For Enterprise Innovators: The path to fault-tolerant quantum computing is now primarily an engineering execution task, not a scientific uncertainty, bringing deep circuit applications in materials and logistics within sight.

Looking Ahead
Leveraging the architectural validations of 2025, QuEra is on track to demonstrate its third-generation systems in 2026-2027.

AnySignal Wins $24M Series A to Transform Mission-Critical Space and National Security Infrastructure

The round was led by Upfront Ventures, with participation from BlueYard Capital, First In Ventures, and other strategic investors.

The funding enables AnySignal to scale manufacturing across a growing portfolio of software and hardware products, including flight radios currently in orbit and next-generation systems for ground and airborne use.

Modern life depends on reliable access to the radio-frequency spectrum, yet many defense and space operators still rely on brittle, single-purpose radios. These legacy systems often fail under congestion, interference, or evolving threats, creating unacceptable risks for satellite communications and national security.

“Failing radios and operational communications breakdowns are less about physics and more about inflexible designs and rigid processes,” said John Malsbury, AnySignal co-founder and CEO. “As more satellites, missiles and drones come online, the weaknesses of existing infrastructure become clear. Without modernization, missions and lives are put at risk and we won’t meet the growing demands of the space economy and defense readiness.”

AnySignal’s platform makes spectrum a software-defined resource. By designing the full radio stack –  from algorithms and hardware to cloud services –  the company said it can deliver new capabilities in weeks rather than years, and allow systems to adapt to attacks without replacing hardware.

“The commercial world has seen huge advances in communications infrastructure, while defense and space have lagged behind,” said Ricardo Medina, AnySignal co-founder. “We’re modernizing the core building blocks so mission-critical users can finally outpace the threat.”

AnySignal is already supporting multiple missions on-orbit, the company said. Over the next year, 12 additional spacecraft are scheduled to launch using AnySignal radios and network services across LEO, GEO and lunar missions.

“Every founder we talk to in space knows AnySignal and sees it as one of the best solutions available,” said Mark Suster, general partner at Upfront Ventures. “Backing this team was a no-brainer.”
