Bengaluru-based brain health startup Ivory has raised $1 million in its latest funding round, led by IIM-A Ventures and Capital-A, according to BW Disrupt. The funding will support Ivory’s mission to combat cognitive decline and help scale its neuroscience-based cognitive assessments to new markets.
Additional investors in the round include 1Crowd, Stanford Angels and individual backers such as Sanjay Arora, Adarsh Narahari and Juhi Bhatnagar.
Ivory’s cognitive assessments are grounded in neuroscience and are designed to identify early signs of cognitive decline before clinical symptoms appear.
“With this capital, we aim to further invest in our technology — enhancing the accuracy, depth and reach of our cognitive assessments. As conversations around longevity and preventative health gain momentum, Ivory stands at the intersection of technology, healthcare and aging,” Rahul Krishnan, CPO of Ivory, told BW Disrupt.
In addition to its app-based solutions, Ivory has partnered with organizations such as WeWork and Puma to provide workplace cognitive risk screenings, reinforcing the importance of brain health as part of routine employee wellness programs.
