About Rad AI

We have raised $80+ million to date from venture funds and just closed on our series B financing with investors Khosla Ventures, Gradient (Google’s AI fund) and ARTIS. We’ve also formed a partnership with Google to collaborate on the future of generative AI to redefine healthcare. Currently, more than 1/3 of radiology groups and healthcare systems, including Kaiser Permanente, HCA Healthcare, and Geisinger, now leverage the latest Gen AI advancements from Rad AI. We're recognized as one of the most promising healthcare AI companies by both CB Insights and AuntMinnie.
