| Deep Discovery is inspired by our work with the journalists who led the reporting of the Panama Papers, where we uncovered a previously unreported international nuclear trafficking ring, using only public data found across the open Web. There are thousands of similar organized crime networks going undetected, causing banks to be fined billions ofdollars for letting them slip through the cracks. At Deep Discovery, we are applying AI to discover hidden patterns in raw data that reveal high-risk activity at an unprecedented global scale. We automatically generate financial crime risk assessment scores, analogous to a FICO score, for every company in the world, including their directors and officers. These risk scores will be available under a simple subscription model to be queried by banks, regulators, and journalists, with the underlying source documentation available for verification and further human analysis. No other software vendor in the marketplace today is able to generate network-based risk assessments, which is a big reason banks have been continuing to get caught doing business with bad actors and receiving massive fines. | $2.3M / Pre-Seed / Jan 21, 2021 | ||

| Syntegra applies state-of-the-art machine learning models to create validated, synthetic data derivatives of health care data that match all of the statistical properties of the underlying data, but guaranteed to contain none of the original data, and cleared of privacy issues. Healthcare systems and data aggregators are forced to impose evergreater barriers to clinical data access. Syntegra is unique in developing a very large, open-access data platform of high quality, patient-level real-world data, trained using modern machine learning methods on health system information. Users can leverage our platform to conduct analytics, building predictive models, generating synthetic control groups for clinical trials and more.Since training is done on data at rest, and only deep learning model parameters are sent from the Syntegra API to the Syntegra servers, there is no risk of identifiable personal information leaving our secure platform. To satisfy health system security teams and end-users, numerous methods of validation, leak-testing and benchmarking are applied to the data derivatives before they pierce the health system’s firewall. Syntegra’s solution is scalable, and usable across many types of data, from images to financial information to sensor streams, will be securely added to our data lake over time. The company is led by a team of extraordinary serial entrepreneurs and university faculty with deep knowledge in medicine and data science. | $5.6M / Seed / Aug 28, 2020 | ||
