Picus Capital

We at Picus Capital and I personally couldn't be more excited to be supporting Nicolas in his life's mission of building Telepatia AI, tackling preventable disease and enhacing the quality of care in LatinAmerica and beyond. ⚕️ After experiencing personal loss due to a preventable disease, it became Nico's mission to spare others from the same fate, and revolutionize healthcare with technology & dedication, while keeping patients & doctors at the core of Telepatia's value proposition of enhancing care outcomes 🖥️ Bringing advanced AI-native technology to care delivery in Latin America, Telepatia's platform supports providers with a clinical co-pilot during consultations, by automatically writing medical records, recommending improvements to patients' care journeys, and eventually facilitating an "always on" medical records data base 👩🔬 Having launched only last year, Telepatia already supports providers across Colombia, Mexico, as well as Brazil (read more about their recent Brazil launch here: https://lnkd.in/egHufQgm) Having worked with Nico before, we are delighted to support him and Tomás as one of the earliest investors, and participating again in Telepatia's 9M USD Seed round. Especially in great company with amazing partners such as Gautam (A*), Florian (Canary), Abstract, Nido Ventures, and many more. If you want to learn more about Telepatia AI, are a provider who wants to try the solution, or just want to help bring healthcare in LatinAmerica to the next level - reach out to Nico or the team at Picus Capital!

We are excited to share that Picus is leading a 12.5m EUR round in StratifAI to unlock the value of AI for precision oncology. 🤝We are investing alongside our friends at Alven as a co-lead, as well as Heliad AG, Rubin Ritter, Lars Langusch, Jens Begemann and existing backers Debiopharm & Arve Capital. The power of AI to gain valuable insights from human data – such as high‑resolution cell scans – through pattern recognition far beyond human capabilities has the potential to unlock unseen exponential progress in healthcare. The first breast cancer application already has a massive impact potential, but is only the tip of the iceberg, especially as the type of input data is expanded. 👏We are convinced that Omar and Firas are the right founding team to tackle this massive challenge and we are happy to support them along the way. 👉https://lnkd.in/eJTg8Y7p #AI #healthcare #precisiononcology
