Rivia secures 3 million euros in seed financing

Swiss startup Rivia secures €3 million to further expand its AI-driven data platform for clinical trials and strengthen its market position
Zurich, Switzerland, June 12, 2024 - Swiss startup Rivia has closed a €3 million seed funding round. This was led by Speedinvest, with further participation from Amino Collective and Nina Capital. The funds will be used to build new engineering and customer service teams and drive product development. The aim is to fully exploit the potential of integrated trial data and establish Rivia as the leading data platform for clinical trials in the biopharma industry.
AI platform for analyzing study data
Rivia addresses a key challenge in the biotech industry: only 13% of therapies that enter clinical trials reach the market. The increasing complexity of therapeutic development and rising competitive pressure make efficient data analytics and integration critical. Rivia's AI-driven data platform provides a real-time view of trial data, accelerating the path to market for new therapies.
Our technology goes beyond data integration and transforms how biotechs evaluate their therapies throughout the development cycle.
Erik Scalfaro, CEO and Co-Founder of Rivia
Rivia was founded by experts in the biopharma industry who understand the weaknesses of the current system. The platform enables biotech companies to effectively analyze their trial data to find faster and more efficient development pathways. By eliminating fragmented data and outdated visualization tools, Rivia is impacting the clinical trial lifecycle.
Rivia's platform is already being used by customers in Europe and the US, including Abcentra. Chris Farina, CEO of Abcentra, says: "Rivia is revolutionizing how biotech companies make decisions based on trial data. By quickly accessing and maintaining all studies as dynamic, evolving data sets, Rivia saves time and improves our understanding of patient responses."
Over the past four years, we at Nina Capital have evaluated over 450 startups providing software to biotechs and pharmaceutical companies. Rivia stands out for its unique approach to centralizing and visualizing multiple data sources in real time
