Gemini Data Announces Launch of Saas Version of Gemini Explore and Completion of New Funding Round
Gemini Data is the Modern No-Code Graph Data Platform for Everyone
OAKLAND, Calif., June 6, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Gemini Data, Inc, the creators of the powerful no-code platform to drive mass adoption of graph technologies, has announced the much-anticipated launch of the SaaS version of the Gemini Explore™ platform. The formal launch will take place at this year’s Neo4j GraphConnect Conference, where Gemini Data is a Gold Sponsor. Coupled with this announcement is the completion of the Company’s most recent funding round. Gemini Data is pleased to welcome new investors Ennoconn, a subsidiary of the Foxconn Group, and Wistron Corporation, with participation from previous investors Systex Corporation and Michael Baum, co-founder and former CEO of Splunk, among others.
“Traditional graph solutions require users to learn complex query languages or write specialized code. Gemini’s modern no-code graph data platform disrupts this old way of thinking and enables business users and data scientists alike to quickly and efficiently interact with their data. With Gemini Explore, organizations are able to connect the dots – find the deeper meaning behind seemingly unrelated pieces of information – to accelerate the decision making process, increase analytics team efficiency, and capture new opportunities” said Johnny Lin, Co-Founder and CEO of Gemini Data.
Set to disrupt the current graph technologies market, the SaaS version of Gemini Explore will formally launch at this year’s Neo4j GraphConnect conference in Austin, TX. The event, occurring June 6-8, is one of the must-attend graph technologies events of the year. “GraphConnect was a natural choice when determining where to introduce this evolution of Gemini Explore as the next generation graph data platform,” said Lin.
Gemini Data will utilize the funds from its latest funding round to further expand its sales and marketing efforts while continuing to invest heavily in cutting-edge product development. “We are thrilled to grow our relationship with our partners as we continue to expand the reach of our platform,” said Lin. “This additional capital from top-tier strategic partners brings us significantly closer to our vision of making solving complex data analysis challenges simple and attainable for everyone. We value the years of knowledge and unique industry insights they bring to the partnership, particularly their experience in supply chain management, where providing access to multiple data sets in an intuitive, no-code interface with Gemini Explore can finally enable true supply chain visibility.”

GRAID Technology Secures $15M USD Series A Funding, Accelerates Growth in the Data Storage & Protection Market
Led by a key investment from Capital TEN, GRAID Technology will enhance and expand industry leading data protection solutions across the OEM and Enterprise markets.

恭喜AI Insurtech新創公司Lydia AI，完成A+輪募資!
本輪由500 Startups、金石創投、阿里巴巴創業者基金、IVP等專業投資機構募集共800萬美金，迄今募資總金額已達到1,400萬美金。
▲Christina Cai, COO & Co-Founder 宣布Lydia AI完成A+輪8百萬美金募資。
TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Lydia AI, formerly known as Knowtions Research, has announced the closing of $8 million USD in a Series A+ funding round. Led by existing investor, Information Venture Partners, and with participation from new investors, including 500 Global, this round brings Lydia AI’s total funding to $14 million USD.
Lydia AI is a deep learning risk scoring engine trained on global health data to generate precise health benchmarks. Insurers use Lydia AI to personalize experience, accelerate underwriting practices and develop new products. The company has partnered with a leading insurer to launch the first series of digital Lydia AI health score products.
“We believe that new sources of alternative data and AI will create digital insurance products that are easier to buy and can protect more people, especially those underserved by the industry today,” said Anthony Lee, CEO of Lydia AI. “In Asia alone, non-treatment due to lack of affordability amounted to $92 billion USD. With more data and improved predictive accuracy, we can help insurers make better risk decisions that transform customer experience for the next billion people.”
Lydia AI will be using the funding to establish itself as the new industry standard for health risk scoring, using digital medical data, by expanding the health score’s applicability to different types of health and life insurance products. The company selected Taiwan, Asia’s 4th largest insurance market, as its pilot market and plans to use its funding to expand into Japan, South Korea and South East Asia.
David Unsworth, the lead investor of the round and General Partner at Information Venture Partners, commented, “with Covid-19 shutting down face-to-face channels, we saw Lydia AI being poised to help insurers transform customer experience for the remote world. We believe Lydia AI is able to become the backbone of new digital health insurance products.”
Tony Wang, Managing Director at 500 Global, commented, “we believe in companies that solve challenging global problems, and that’s why we invested in Lydia AI. The next frontier of customers are digital-first citizens, and they have radically different needs than those who are insured today. We believe Lydia AI has the team and the technology to solve this problem.”
Lydia AI currently employs 42 people and plans to add 25 new hires to strengthen and grow a strong global presence in the next year.
Congrats to insurtech startup Lydia AI has raised $10 million CAD
