  • Oma Fertility

    Led · Seed · Oct 2022

    Oma Fertility aims to improve in‑vitro fertilization by combining better technology with respectful care and ethical pricing. The company was founded by Gurjeet Singh in 2020. Oma has raised $71.5 million across three funding rounds. Chrissy Meyer and Root Ventures invested in the last two rounds. The company is actively engaging in public outreach—its founder and an investor are scheduled to speak at a TechCrunch Live event. The articles emphasize its mission to make IVF more accessible and patient‑centered. Oma Fertility combines artificial intelligence and robotics with clinical care to reduce the cost and human error associated with IVF. Its initial product, Oma Sperm InSight™, uses AI to identify the most promising sperm cells to improve embryo quality and boost success rates. The company opened its first clinic in Santa Barbara, California in 2021 and announced plans to expand nationally through 2023. Co-founder and CCO Dr. Sahil Gupta previously founded the Aveya clinic chain in India and Nepal and brought demonstrated operational experience to the venture. Oma positions a team of engineers and physicians together to automate manual lab tasks and standardize assessments where embryologists historically disagree. The company markets its approach as making fertility treatments more accessible and affordable compared with typical U.S. IVF pricing.

  • Scope Security

    Participated · Series A · Mar 2022

    Scope Security offers an MDR service that protects hospitals, clinics and large provider systems from cyberattacks. The company’s custom-built integrated technology and service platform detects complex attacks across the entire healthcare technology landscape and closes visibility gaps with medical devices, clinical technologies and electronic health records. Its solution can be deployed as a complete, systemwide detection-and-response offering or as a point solution focused on visibility gaps with medical devices. Scope highlights that a recent study found 70% of hospitals experienced a significant security incident in the past 12 months and says the COVID-19–driven expansion of remote care has increased security vulnerabilities. Founded in 2019 by former Lookout Chief Security Officer Mike Murray, the company plans to use new funding to further develop its cybersecurity solutions for the complex healthcare ecosystem. Including the new funding, Scope has raised $37.7 million to date, according to Crunchbase.
