Quris, a Boston and Tel Aviv, Israel-based artificial intelligence (AI) innovator disrupting the pharmaceutical arena, announced that it secured an additional $9 million in seed funding, bringing its total seed round funding to $37 million. 

The round was by SoftBank Vision Fund 2, alongside existing private and institutional investors such as GlenRock Capital, iAngels, Welltech Ventures, and Richter Group.

The additional capital will help Quris advance its Bio-AI platform, grow its team, strengthen industry collaborations, and speed up its novel drug research.

“SoftBank’s ecosystem comprises an impressive cluster of companies leading the field of artificial intelligence for pharma. As an investment partner, it gives them a unique perspective on this young and promising field that has already begun to produce significant unicorns,” added Dr. Isaac Bentwich, founder and CEO of Quris.
