Medeloop just raised $8 million in seed funding led by General Catalyst. The startup uses AI to help speed up research tasks such as grant applications and data collection. It's working with researchers at universities in California and Canada. Caissie, who was born in Canada and previously worked as an oral and facial surgeon, wanted to build tech to solve problems he'd faced as a doctor and researcher. In 2021, he left Montreal to attend Stanford University's business school to get his MBA and build a tech platform, now known as Medeloop, that would help him conduct research quicker.
