TOP PICKS 📢

1/4

Amount: $75M 🎉

Valuation: $1B

Round: Series A

Lead Investor: Sequoia Capital

OpenEvidence functions like a ChatGPT for doctors but is built exclusively on trusted medical data sources like peer-reviewed medical literature.

Doctors conversationally query clinical questions and receive responses that include medical charts, graphs, and referenced studies. It does not generate answers when the literature is inconclusive, avoiding the issue of AI hallucinations. OpenEvidence is available for free to verified doctors and is monetized through advertising.

2/4

Amount: $480M 🎉

Round: Series D

Lead Investor: Andra Capital, SGW

Lambda is a GPU cloud platform for AI model training, fine-tuning, and inference workloads.

The platform hosts more than 25,000 Nvidia GPUs and is expanding its capacity with Nvidia’s latest Blackwell B200 chips. A key feature is the 1-Click Clusters, allowing developers to provision AI clusters with up to 512 Nvidia H100 GPUs.

3/4

Amount: $15M 🎉

Round: Series A-2

Lead Investor: Qualcomm Ventures

Guidde uses AI to automatically create video clips that instruct viewers on how to use software applications.

It works by capturing a user’s in-app activity, and then transforming the recording into a video with a “storyline.” Its latest release, Guidde Broadcast, takes training a step further by delivering contextual video recommendations to employees based on their specific tasks.

4/4

Amount: $65M 🎉

Round: Series B

Lead Investor: Quadrille Capital

Sanas uses AI to adjust a speaker’s accent in real time for contact centres.

The software works by analyzing the phonetic patterns of speech and dynamically adjusting them to match a specified accent. Their AI models eliminate noise, reverb, and echo while maintaining the speaker’s unique voice characteristics.

Notably, the company has scaled its ARR from $3M to $21M this year.
