Reliant AI, a provider of artificial intelligence-powered data analytics software, today announced that it is quietly launching with $11.3 million in seed funding. The new round was co-led by Tola Capital and Inovia Capital, with participation from angel investor Mike Volpi.
Reliant AI was founded by Karl Moritz Hermann, Marc Bellemare, and Richard Schlegel, leading scientists and researchers in natural language processing and reinforcement learning who have led teams at DeepMind, Google Brain, and EY Parthenon. They are passionate about how generative AI can solve information problems, reduce repetitive mental work, and accelerate business decision-making.
The company will initially target the biopharmaceutical industry and use the new funding to hire talented engineers to expand its technology investments and footprint in Europe and North America.
Reliant AI’s first product, Reliant Tabular, is an AI tool that is generating significant interest across major segments of the biopharma industry. The product helps life sciences analysts find scientific evidence to support their decisions through automated systematic reviews, asset analyses, comprehensive analytics, and a customizable data platform. With Reliant AI, everything can be queried.
Reliant Tabular features include proprietary ML models optimized to be experts in biopharmaceutical topics, a holistic approach to fact finding, a user interface that makes it faster and easier to reconcile generated results with real-world evidence, and answers in a report-ready format so teams can collaborate on analyses.
