    Participated · Seed · Oct 2025

    VitVio builds an AI-powered platform that fuses computer vision and ambient sensing to generate a live 3D model of the operating room, showing exactly who is doing what, when and why during surgery. The system automatically logs surgical phases, coordinates staff assignments, prepares operative notes, and issues real-time alerts for deviations from standard procedure. Anonymized, end-to-end-encrypted data flows into a secure dashboard integrated with hospital information systems, giving administrators actionable insights on utilization, case flow, and resource allocation. These analytics help hospitals pinpoint bottlenecks, reduce waste, and sharpen scheduling precision, resulting in measurable efficiency and financial impact. All patient data is anonymized at the point of capture to protect privacy. With fresh capital, the company plans to accelerate commercialization across U.S. hospitals and expand its engineering, operations, and other key teams. VitVio has raised a total of $10 million to date. The company was co-founded by CEO Thomas Knox, CTO Dr. Peter Rennert, COO Maks Kozarzewski, and CPO Aleks Pajewski.
