Super excited about my investment in Centaur Labs - a leading healthcare data annotation company that?s playing a key role in training, optimizing, and monitoring the effectiveness of AI models. The clients that Centaur is serving are a Who?s Who list of tech and healthcare innovators, and they?re just getting started. I?ve joined the Board of Directors, and I?m already having a great time supporting Erik Duhaime and the Centaur team as they scale up their impact. As a part of this, also really excited to be partnering with Yuanling Yuan, Chris Scoggins, and the entire SignalFire team as an Entrepreneur-in-Residence. It?s been truly impressive to see up close how SignalFire?s approach to combining venture capital - with meaningful tech-enabled services support - helps accelerate their portfolio company?s success. Many thanks to Frank Williams, Tom Peterson, and Eric Larsen for getting me involved there... fun to be collaborating again with my old ABC friends.

?? SignalFire is super excited to announce our Series B investment in Centaur Labs today in partnership with Wesley Yiu @ Alumni Ventures, Stan Reiss Matrix, Derick En'Wezoh, MBA @ Susa Ventures, Accel and Samsung Next! ?? Imagine a turbocharged race car sitting idle at the track because the pit crew can’t find the right gas to fill it. That’s what the healthcare AI field feels like right now. Billions of dollars are being spent on companies led by the brightest minds in the world, yet their AI programs are struggling because they don’t have the right fuel. ? The missing fuel? Data, which is used to train and improve AI algorithms of all kinds. In healthcare, the problem isn’t lack of data—just the opposite. The average hospital produces enough data to fill about 70 million books every day. The problem is most of the information is bad or unusable, and in healthcare the stakes are too high to use anything but top-tier data. Centaur Labs, led by MIT PhD Erik Duhaime, Zach Rausnitz, and Tom Gellatly provides healthcare companies with accurate data they can use to create AI tools faster, more accurately, and for less money. Centaur uses a gamified app to attract tens of thousands of medical experts from around the globe who compete for cash prizes while annotating anonymized patient data on a HIPAA-compliant app. Because every piece of data is looked at by multiple experts, it’s like getting a second or third opinion on everything at a fraction of the cost. Centaur Labs is the latest company in our XIR program, which pairs deeply experienced tech industry leaders with high-potential companies. In this case, Erik is teaming up with former Privia Health Co-Founder & CEO Jeff Butler! ?? #healthtech #healthcareAI #healthcaredata Adele English Chris Scoggins
