Manta Cares
Manta Cares is a San Francisco-based digital health company redesigning the cancer experience for patients and caregivers. Founded by breast cancer survivor Samira Daswani, it offers a free, HIPAA-compliant, AI-enabled platform - featuring subway-style Cancer Maps, a symptom and appointment planner, and expert-reviewed resources vetted by 100+ oncologists - that turns the chaotic cancer journey into a navigable path. The company launched publicly in November 2025 with an oversubscribed $5.4M seed round led by Pear VC and Sozo Ventures.
SurvivorNet
SurvivorNet is a New York-based digital media company built to be a trustworthy, expert-vetted source of cancer information. Founded by former ABC News producer Steve Alperin and healthcare venture capitalist Tim Langloss, it pairs broadcast-quality video and survivor storytelling with content reviewed by oncologists at leading cancer centers. The platform reaches roughly 2.5 million people a month and operates an AI-powered Clinical Trial Finder built on clinicaltrials.gov to connect patients with relevant studies.
