Louisa AI
Louisa AI is a New York-based relationship intelligence platform, spun out of Goldman Sachs in 2023, that maps who-knows-who and who-knows-what inside an organization. By reading daily market news against a firm's internal relationship graph, it proactively nudges the right colleague with the right warm lead at the right time - what founder Rohan Doctor calls 'systematizing serendipity.' It sells mainly to investment banks, private capital, consulting and law firms as a cross-sell and deal-origination engine.
Jacob Cole
Jacob Cole is the CEO and cofounder of Ideaflow, a Palo Alto company building intelligence-amplifying software - a notebook and team knowledge platform designed to fuse human thinking with AI. A former MIT Media Lab collective-intelligence researcher who also studied at Oxford, Cole frames Ideaflow as a life mission: a future where 'nobody feels alone with their ideas.' The company has raised more than $10M from First Round Capital, 8VC, StartX, Tim Draper, and Naval, building a human-AI hybrid 'shared brain' for organizations.
Rohan Doctor
Rohan Doctor is the founder and CEO of Louisa AI, a New York relationship-intelligence platform that spun out of Goldman Sachs in 2023. After 17 years at Goldman, where he ran the Bank Solutions business and closed a record cross-border trade he chalked up to a chance hallway encounter, he set out to answer one question: what if you could systematize serendipity with data? Louisa maps who-knows-who and who-knows-what inside an organization, then proactively nudges colleagues toward deals and warm introductions. The company raised a $5M seed in March 2024 backed by angels and Oxford University, and counts Goldman Sachs among its blue-chip financial-services customers.
Centaur AI
Centaur AI (Centaur Labs) is a Boston-based healthcare data annotation platform that taps a network of 50,000+ vetted medical and scientific experts to label, evaluate, and monitor the multimodal data that powers medical AI. Born out of MIT's Center for Collective Intelligence, the company uses performance-weighted 'wisdom of the crowd' methods - delivered through its gamified DiagnosUs app - to produce labels that match or beat individual specialists, on a HIPAA-compliant, SOC 2 platform.
Erik Duhaime
Erik Duhaime is the cofounder and CEO of Centaur.ai (formerly Centaur Labs), a Boston startup that turns the wisdom of crowds into medical-grade training data for AI. His PhD research at the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence showed that ordinary medical students, when their opinions are measured and pooled the right way, can out-diagnose individual experts. He built a company on that insight, raising $35M total to label the world's health and science data.
