The story of Causaly, a member of the Scale Up 3rd Cohort, began when Yiannis and his co-founder Artur, both computer scientists and passionate readers, envisioned a way to teach a computer to read at superhuman speed. They set their sights on the biomedical domain, a field rich with millions of publications containing critical insights for advancing human health. This ambitious vision culminated in the development of an AI-driven platform capable of rapidly analyzing vast amounts of data, distilling weeks of research into a matter of minutes. At Causaly, the goal is to provide high-precision search capabilities to make navigating scientific literature more efficient and increase  research productivity by up to 90%. 

The company collaborates with major players in the pharmaceutical industry, including giants like Gilead, Novo Nordisk, and regulatory agencies such as the FDA. They are also trusted by 12 of the world’s 20 largest pharmaceutical giants and lie at the forefront of life-saving research.

Causaly raised $60 million in Series B funding led by ICONIQ Growth and with participation from returning investors including Index Ventures, Marathon Venture Capital, and more. With this new capital, the platform is extending their product lead and expanding commercial relationships.
