Revisto: $4 Million (Seed) Raised For Transforming Pharmaceutical Marketing Compliance

By Amit Chowdhry • Nov 18, 2024

Revisto, an AI-based solution that streamlines the medical, legal, and regulatory (MLR) review process for pharmaceutical marketing materials, announced it has secured $4 million in seed funding. This funding round was led by LiveOak Ventures, with participation from Eli Lilly and Company, Tau Ventures, and Arkin Digital Health.

The funding brings Revisto’s total funding to $6 million, positioning the company to transform the pharmaceutical and life science industry’s often tedious and financially burdensome approach to marketing compliance.

Revisto’s MLR-focused AI technology, which was developed with terabytes of proprietary pharmaceutical data, addresses the manual review cycles faced by life sciences companies so that they can bring promotional materials to market quickly, gaining a competitive advantage while ensuring regulatory compliance and credibility with providers and patients. Revisto’s solution reduces the time and cost associated with the MLR review process, which has traditionally been a bottleneck in pharmaceutical marketing operations.

Revisto’s AI-based review solution utilizes customers’ brand-specific data and real-time FDA 21 CFR regulations and guidelines to address the pain points in the MLR review process, which multiple stakeholders, ever-changing regulations, and manual processes hinder. And by automating and optimizing these workflows, Revisto also enables pharmaceutical companies to bring their products to market faster while maintaining the highest regulatory compliance standards. This solution seamlessly integrates into review workflows and CMS software, like Veeva Vault PromoMats.

Revisto aims to save life sciences companies an estimated $15 million or more per brand per year by streamlining the MLR review process.
