AI startup My Intelligent Machines raises $2.6 million seed round BetaKit

Montreal-based My Intelligent Machines (MIMS), which is developing a platform to help life sciences companies maximize their R&D and production activities, has closed a $2.6 million seed round. "MIMS will contribute to life sciences companies that are ready to welcome the artificial intelligence era." The round saw participation from Anges Québec, Anges Québec Capital, Consortium MedTeq, Desjardins Capital, Real Ventures, and StandUp Ventures. With this funding, MIMS intends to develop solutions that allow life scientists to stratify human, animal, and plant populations through artificial intelligence and big data, without needing expertise in data science or bioinformatics. "MIMS sets itself apart from other AI startups, because of our ability to leverage what we call'fat data' using AI, which is very difficult to do," said Sarah Jenna, co-founder and CEO of MIMS.
