Reliant AI, a provider of gen AI-powered data analytics software, announced today it is launching out of stealth with $11.3 million in seed funding. This new funding round was co-led by Tola Capital and Inovia Capital, with participation from angel investor Mike Volpi.
Reliant AI was created by leading Natural Language Processing and Reinforcement Learning scientists and researchers Karl Moritz Hermann, Marc Bellemare, and Richard Schlegel, who headed various teams at DeepMind, Google Brain, and EY Parthenon. They are passionate about how generative AI can solve information challenges, reduce repetitive mental labor, and accelerate enterprise decision-making.
The company will initially target the biopharma industry and use the new funding to hire engineering talent to expand its technology investment and footprints in Europe and North America.
Reliant AI’s first product – which is Reliant Tabular – is an AI workbench that is attracting significant interest across key business segments in the biopharma industry. And the product helps life science analysts find scientific evidence for their decisions through automated systematic reviews, asset scans, comprehensive analyses, and a customizable data platform – with Reliant AI, anything can be queried.
The Reliant Tabular features include proprietary ML models optimized to be experts in biopharma topics, a comprehensive approach to fact-finding, a user interface that makes it quicker and easier to reconcile generated results with ground-truth evidence, and answers in a report-ready format so that teams can collaborate on analyses.
KEY QUOTES:
“Information and data are a critically overlooked part of making the life sciences progress to bring about a better world. The sheer amount of menial labor involved in data-intensive industries today means that many highly skilled professionals are focused on wrangling data rather than solving complex issues. We created an AI system that understands the life sciences to radically grow its capacity to perform research at scale.”
- Karl Moritz Hermann, CEO and Co-Founder of Reliant AI
“The biopharma industry has a massive and underserved information need. Reliant AI blends cutting-edge research with domain expertise to create software that makes it possible for a day’s worth of data wrangling to be done in 30 seconds. Marc, Karl Moritz and their technical team bring together decades of AI expertise from the world’s best research groups, such as DeepMind, Google Brain, and Meta, giving Reliant the ability to really move the needle on the application of generative AI to hard data problems.”
- Aaron Fleishman, Partner at Tola Capital
“We see a significant market opportunity in the pharmaceutical sector, as companies strive to build and partner with new entrants to develop innovative solutions like those offered by Reliant AI.
