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.
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.
