Body mapping startup BioDigital receives $4m from FirstMark Capital and New York University.
BioDigital, a New York-based startup, has raised $4m in a series A backed by FirstMark Capital, New York University (NYU), and angel investors.
NYU made its investment through its Innovation Venture Fund, and is also supporting BioDigital by piloting its technology at the university’s medical school.
The startup is offering an online 3D map of the human body which can be customised to demonstrate to users how different conditions affect it.
In a statement, the company said: “Building the first true 3D virtual body platform that finally allows people to see what’s happening below our skin is a massive undertaking and we are proud to receive FirstMark’s support. Our technology, at the intersection of consumer, health, education and digital media is well aligned with FirstMark’s expertise. The investment will allow us to accelerate the development of features and API functionality requested by our users while furthering our mission to make health and human body understandable to everyone.”
