Gestalt, an innovator in AI-based digital pathology solutions, announced the completion of a $7.5 million Series A financing. The funding round was led by Cowles Ventures, TVF Funds, Inland Imaging Investments, KickStart Funds, and angel investors from the Pacific Northwest.
What Gestalt does: Gestalt’s PathFlow platform is utilized by leading healthcare, academic medical centers, and research organizations. Customers implement PathFlow as their preferred solution because it integrates seamlessly into their existing laboratory information systems, enabling faster, more accurate diagnoses and improving access to expert consultation, education, and research regardless of location.
Gestalt is now at the forefront of a critical shift in diagnostic medicine, helping transform pathology from a manual, microscope-based process to a scalable digital solution leveraging artificial intelligence tools, similar to the digital transitions already seen in radiology and cardiology.
The company’s platform improves diagnostic speed and precision, which is critical for cancer patients who can wait for days to weeks or more for a diagnosis, but also unlocks AI-powered insights that enable:
— Biomarker scoring to support the optimization of patient-therapy matching
— Image and data analysis for disease progression studies
— And the interoperability that enables pathologists access to valuable aides and insights that streamline their workflows, highlight areas of positivity and reduce missed diagnoses.
With this Series A funding round, Gestalt remains committed to expanding its impact by deploying its PathFlow software in healthcare, making high-quality, scalable pathology solutions more accessible to clinicians and researchers worldwide.
What the funding will be used for: This new funding round will facilitate broader market adoption and increased profitability. The funding will also be used to expand the company’s customer base, enhance AI capabilities, and pursue FDA clearance. This comes at a critical moment, with rising cancer rates and a declining number of practicing pathologists intensifying the need for scalable, digital-first diagnostic solutions.
KEY QUOTES:
“PathFlow is transforming pathology by leveraging robust digital workflows and AI algorithms to support scoring of key biomarkers. This enables organizations to accurately match patients to known therapies and generate rich datasets for research and new drug development. Our technology is designed to improve patient outcomes by enabling faster, more accurate diagnoses and broadening access to clinical expertise.”
“We are incredibly grateful for the continued support from our investors. This funding allows us to expand on the solid foundation we’ve built. We’ve already streamlined how pathologists navigate fragmented systems by creating PathFlow, a unified platform for viewing pathology cases digitally and collaborating with leading experts in real-time without the need to ship specimens. Now, we’ll accelerate innovation and scale our reach to meet the growing demands of modern pathology.”
