Empowering reproductive health with AI. We are excited to announce our lead investment in Ovom Care, a hybrid fertility care provider that combines AI algorithms with in-person care experience to redefine the reproductive space. Under the leadership of Felicia von Reden, Dr Cristina Hickman and Lynae Brayboy, MD, Ovom Care is on a mission to open up the accessibility of assisted reproductive technology (ART) by developing a technology ecosystem that leverages AI to digitalize the IVF treatment workflow and enable data-informed decision-making process throughout the treatment journey, increasing its success rate and affordability. With the technology already deployed in a private clinic in London, Ovom Care is planning to launch its first start-of-the-art fertility clinic in Portugal by the end of 2024. In this €4.8m seed round, we are joined by fantastic partners, including Ananda Impact Ventures and Merantix. Congratulations to the team Felicia von Reden, Dr Cristina Hickman, Lynae Brayboy, MD and looking forward to the disruptive journey ahead! 💪 Sifted article (Kai Nicol-Schwarz) - https://lnkd.in/d_n3bXkF Antoine Blondeau, Arnaud Barthelemy, Terry Chou, Uday Sandhu, Alberto Pelliccione, Alex P.

FlexAI is out of stealth mode, and we are thrilled to share that Alpha Intelligence Capital is co-leading their 30m$ seed round with Elaia (Pauline Roux) and Heartcore Capital (Jimmy Fussing Nielsen) along with Frst, Partech, Motier Ventures, Better Angle and Karim Beguir. FlexAI is delivering universal AI compute by rearchitecting compute infrastructure at a system level. The company has built a layer of software intelligence, abstraction, and orchestration into the AI compute stack, enabling developers to benefit from a diverse set of compute architectures to train their models faster, more reliably, and at a fraction of the cost of traditional GPU clusters. In the words of our Managing Partner Antoine Blondeau: “Compute is lagging, not leading, AI models' increasingly potent capabilities. To deliver on AI's potential, the industry has to solve the issue of compute costs and that of stack complexity -- both of which dramatically increase development costs and time to market. Brijesh Tripathi and Dali Kilani, uniquely, have the hardware and software skillset to architect and build the ecosystem for the AI compute orchestration layer." Congratulations to the team Brijesh, Dali, Ryan and looking forward to the ride ahead! 👊 cc. Antoine Blondeau Arnaud Barthelemy Alberto Pelliccione Terry Chou Uday Sandhu Alex P.
