Greenville, S.C. – VentureSouth is pleased to announce that it has led the $2.5M seed round financing of Gradient Health, a Durham, NC-based Health AI technology platform.
Gradient Health aims to accelerate automated AI diagnostics by labeling the world’s medical imagery, one pathology at a time. It brings over 300 million medical images from around the world, labels them, and delivers them to healthcare A.I. companies and researchers.
“We’re excited to be working with world-class AI companies at the forefront of automated diagnostics,” Josh Miller, CEO of Gradient said. “VentureSouth's investment in Gradient Health will allow us to continue building out our platform for ML and Research-ready healthcare data. We are happy to be growing Gradient with their support. We’re grateful to have VentureSouth in our corner once more.”
