- About
- Israeli AI blood-diagnostics company (HQ Tel Aviv; offices in the US and London), founded in 2011 by Yossi Pollak (CEO) and Daniel Levner. Its flagship Sight OLO is the first FDA-cleared direct-from-fingerstick point-of-care complete-blood-count (CBC) analyzer — a compact ('toaster-oven'-sized) machine-vision instrument that delivers a lab-grade 5-part differential CBC from two drops of blood in minutes, with no reagents or routine calibration. FDA 510(k)-cleared (2019), CE-marked, Health Canada and Australia POC approved; deployed with health systems (incl. Sheba during COVID) and a Pfizer partnership. Raised ~$200M over its history (Koch Disruptive Technologies, OurCrowd, CK Hutchison/Longliv, IFC). The portable, reagent-free CBC is a strong austere/field blood-diagnostics fit for C12. Note: the company has contracted sharply (from ~300 employees to ~11–50) and is repositioning toward an 'immune-intelligence' platform — a materially changed, higher-risk profile.
