Augmedit, a Dutch startup that develops and brings to market Augmented Reality software for surgeons has closed a seed investment round of more than €1M with a consortium of Dutch and Swiss informal investors and the US based Venture Capital Fund Revere Partners.
Augmedit introduces a complete and intuitive Augmented Reality (AR) workflow for clinical practice. With their CE certified Lumi ™ software Augmedit automatically generates holograms out of medical imaging for surgical preparation and patient education. Their follow-on product LumiNE Elite projects these holograms on the patient in the operating room with a surgical plan to guide the surgeon. This holographic experience improves the insight of surgeons, making surgery safer and driving massive costs savings for medical institutions.
The funds will be used to obtain CE certification and FDA clearance of Augmedit’s beachhead products for neurosurgeons and to scaleup its technology to high volume / high impact indications beyond neurosurgery in both Europe and the USA.
Claartje Ypma, CEO Augmedit: “We are very excited to receive the support of multiple super angel investors and of Revere Partners VC. With Revere joining us, we expect to accelerate our market access in the US and use their knowhow and network for our future products in the field of oral surgery. Next to closing this financing round, also with the help of Money Meets Ideas, we have been granted €1.7M non-dilutive funding through the EIC Accelerator program. Therefore, we are well positioned to fulfill our ambition to become the leader in medical augmented reality applications.”
Jeremy Krell, Managing Partner Revere:”We believe that AR will soon become indispensable in the oral and maxillofacial health care industries. The Augmedit team has demonstrated the skillset and drive to create solutions that change the way surgeries are performed by providers, for the benefit of patients. Our investment and our network will help allow Augmedit to boost the value of AR solutions in the coming years.”
