Piramidal, a San Fransisco, CA-based AI powered neurotech startup, raised $6m in seed funding.
The round was was led by Y Combinator, with participation from Adverb Ventures, Lionheart Ventures, as well as unnamed angel investors.
Co-founded by Dimitris Fotis Sakellariou, CEO, and Kris Pahuja, Head of Product, Piramidal is building a foundation model that can detect and understand complex “brain language” or brainwaves. The model will enable users to get instant diagnosis for the vast majority of neurological conditions using AI.
The foundation model, trained on a massive and diverse corpus of brainwave data i.e. Electroencephalography (EEG), will be able to understand and detect the many facets of brain activity, from disease to wellbeing and become a neurologist co-pilot or a biomarker discovery assistant.
The first product is a copilot for epilepsy diagnosis, which will assist neurologists by obtaining diagnostic insights around a patient’s EEG, in real time.
Shortly after epilepsy, we will fine tune our foundation model to provide diagnosis for a vast majority of other conditions such as sleep and cognitive disorders.
Piramidal is a YC W24 company.
