| Oncoustics is creating and deploying advanced AI solutions for low cost, non-invasive surveillance, diagnostics, and treatment monitoring of diseases with high unmet clinical need. Unlike other players in the space, Oncoustics does not do image recognition. Instead, Oncoustics applies AI to raw ultrasound signals from readily available handheldultrasound devices to rapidly differentiate healthy versus diseased tissues. There's a wealth of information in these raw signals and this approach reveals novel biomarkers that can be aligned with existing standards and categorization systems. Initially targeting liver disease, a $30B global diagnostic market, Oncoustics has filed a Breakthrough Device Designation Request with the FDA for the OnX that detects liver fibrosis and the 510K is underway. Several follow-on liver products are in development. Oncoustics also has clinical data on other organ indications including prostate, kidney, breast and thyroid diseases and cancers. | $5M / Seed / Jul 21, 2022 | ||

| Workwolf is a recruitment services company that combines human recruiters with proprietary AI and psychometric technology to deliver predictive hiring intelligence at disruptive pricing. The company addresses a fundamental inefficiency in the $150B+ recruitment industry: traditional agencies charge 15-25% of candidate salary for subjectiveassessments with no performance accountability. Workwolf’s technology-enabled model delivers measurable quality improvements at significantly lower cost per hire. The proprietary technology platform includes two core components: Smart Resume Screening for contextual qualification matching, and Packfinder™ psychometrics for role-specific performance prediction. Unlike generic assessment tools, Packfinder™ models are calibrated using client performance data, creating organization-specific predictions that improve with scale. The business model starts at fees as low as 4% of annual salary for high-volume roles, rather than percentage-based fees of 15-25%, creating favorable unit economics for high-volume clients while maintaining strong margins through technology leverage. This pricing structure aligns incentives around retention rather than salary inflation. Target customers are mid-market companies with consistent hiring volume (2+ hires/month) across multiple locations—particularly retail, hospitality, healthcare, logistics, and call centers. These segments offer predictable demand and benefit most from Workwolf’s pattern recognition capabilities across distributed operations. The platform generates compounding data advantages: each hire provides performance outcome data that refines predictive models, creating a defensible moat as the system processes more hiring decisions within and across client organizations. Workwolf is headquartered in Toronto, Canada. | $1.8M / Pre-Seed / Dec 15, 2020 | ||
