About Rivia
Rivia specializes in AI-Driven Analytics and Data Infrastructure for Successful Biopharma Clinical Trials. Biopharmas are the origin of most new therapies, yet often face inefficiencies and failures in clinical trials due to fragmented data and outdated tools. Our technology offers a real-time, integrated view of data to improve the evaluation of new treatments and trial conduct. Our vision is to become the unified data infrastructure that transforms clinical development lifecycles, bringing new therapies to market more successfully.
In under 3 years, we've successfully launched Rivia to multiple Biotechs and are scaling to reach many more. Our rapid growth and innovative approach have recently been recognized by top investors, resulting in a €3M funding round led by Speedinvest. This investment provides us with the resources to accelerate our development and expand our impact in the biotech industry.
