Feminai is an Israeli health-tech startup building a wearable sensor patch that continuously monitors breast tissue density and blood-flow patterns, then analyzes the data with proprietary AI algorithms to detect early signs of breast cancer. The company’s first in-human clinical trial at Sheba Medical Center reported 96% sensitivity and a 98% negative predictive value, indicating strong diagnostic accuracy. Co-founded by physician-CEO Dr. Karny Ilan along with Gal Yanuka and Shani Klein, Feminai aims to replace or supplement clinic-based imaging with a more accessible, affordable, and user-friendly home solution. The recent seed funding equips the team to scale hiring, pursue regulatory clearances, and finalize go-to-market preparations. Feminai ultimately intends to bring its device to global markets as a subscription or device-plus-software service, targeting earlier detection and improved outcomes for women’s health. Prior to the seed round, no additional funding amounts were disclosed.

Viridix has developed a sensor combined with a software platform that measures soil moisture and provides actionable irrigation guidance to improve crop yields and save water. The company says its solution has been well received in Israeli, European and Asian markets and it aims to expand into the U.S. market. Viridix’s leadership, including CEO Tal Maor, targets becoming the leading global autonomous irrigation system and plans to partner with major irrigation companies to achieve that goal. The company cites research (USDA‑funded) showing soil moisture–driven irrigation can increase yields by 11–26%, positioning its product as a way to realize those gains. Commercialization support for U.S. expansion is expected via the Israel–Colorado Innovation Fund’s partner network and Innosphere’s growth packages. Financially, Viridix closed a $2.35 million seed round in 2019 to accelerate growth and U.S. market entry.
