Uncovr, a surgical AI startup based in New York and Paris, has raised $7M in seed funding to turn the video from an operation into its official written record. The round was led by Index Ventures.
Seedcamp, Frst, No Label Ventures, and Entrepreneurs First also took part, alongside angels including Digital Surgery founder Jean Nehme, Color Health chief executive Othman Laraki, and Meta board member Charlie Songhurst.
Founded in 2025 by Ines Iraki, Johann Diep, and the surgeon Professor Eric Vibert, Uncovr is coming out of stealth. Iraki is chief executive. Diep, the chief technology officer, previously worked at the European Space Agency and ETH Zurich.
The company is going after a routine but consequential gap in hospital paperwork. Many operations are now recorded on camera, especially in robotic and minimally invasive surgery, yet the operative report is still written by hand afterwards, often hours later.
