Health-tech startup RedBrick AI, with operations in the US & India, has raised $4.6 million in seed funding round to accelerate the development and adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in clinical settings, through rapid data annotation on medical imagery. The round was led by Surge, Sequoia Capital India, and Southeast Asia’s rapid scale-up programme, with participation from Y Combinator and angels. 

RedBrick AI was launched in 2021 by Shivam Sharma, and Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder Derek Lukacs. Both Shivam and Derek previously worked on SpaceX’s Hyperloop technology, and participated in the SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition.

Sharma has a background in aerospace engineering and computer science from University of Michigan, while Lukacs holds a Bachelors and Masters in aerospace engineering from the University of Michigan.

RedBrick AI is focused on solving the first key challenge to healthcare AI adoption – providing clinicians high-quality data annotation tools that accelerate the preparation of training datasets.

The RedBrick AI software as a service (SaaS) platform offers high-performance web annotation tools for 2D and 3D data to give experts access to specialized tooling right from their browsers.
