WhizAI, the first and only purpose-built, augmented consumer platform for the life sciences industry, has raised $8 million in series A financing.

Vertical Venture Partners led this round; existing investors also participated. This latest investment brings the total amount raised by the company to over $15 million.

WhizAI is transforming how top global pharma companies use analytics to increase the top line and reduce the bottom line. They help large and mid-sized pharma:

Reduce TCO by ~50% while modernizing and streamlining legacy analytics systems through intelligent automation

Empower business users in sales, commercial ops, marketing, R&D, and supply chain through contextual, actionable insights without month-long wait times and complex software that needs high-level technical skills

Improve business outcomes by identifying key opportunities, eliminating operational inefficiencies, and streamlining the analytics ecosystem

All this is possible because WhizAI is exclusive to the life sciences industry. The AI is pre-trained in the language, domain, and analytics to deliver timely, specific insights.

Rohit Vashisht, co-founder and CEO, WhizAI.: “We are fundamentally changing the way analytics is done in life sciences by helping our customers keep pace with large scale data, on-demand analytics, and timely insights. The future of analytics is augmented via AI to enable everyone to be insights-driven. We are delighted that our investors share this vision and support us to fulfill our mission. We will be using this investment to expand our footprint in the US and Europe and invest in all aspects of the business.”

David Schwab, Founder and Managing Director, Vertical Venture Partners: “BI is another horizontal platform technology that needs to move to vertical-specific for customers to get the full value. Predictive and prescriptive analytics, the next phase of customer value from BI, cannot be fully realized without a vertical approach. This move from horizontal platforms to vertical solutions is the core theme of our venture fund. This vertical approach combined with a strong management team with deep BI experience makes this an ideal investment for Vertical Venture Partners.”

Through its combination of NLP, machine learning, visualization, and data scalability, WhizAI is a leap forward in business intelligence software for life sciences. The company will use the capital to grow its industry footprint by expanding its team across the globe and investing in sales and marketing so that more companies can get the fast, easy, and contextual insights necessary to compete.
