ArteraAI – a developer of multimodal artificial intelligence (MMAI) based predictive and prognostic cancer tests – announced that it has secured an additional $20 million in capital fueled by several prominent large investment funds including Prosperity7 Ventures, EDBI, Walden Catalyst Ventures, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, and Trium Ventures, along with investors Navin Chaddha, Rajiv Khemani (AISpace VC), and Andrew & Elliott Tan (A&E Investment LLC).
This funding round follows closely on the heels of ArteraAI’s recent achievement of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) decision on the payment rate for the ArteraAI Prostate Test. The decision helps to ensure broader accessibility to AI-enabled personalized care, benefiting a larger population. And less than a year ago, ArteraAI emerged from stealth mode with an initial funding of $90 million. Since then, the company has made significant strides, obtaining a Medicare payment rate, growing distribution and establishing a solid foundation for international expansion through strategic global partnerships to continue its research.
