Ivory has raised $1 million in a seed funding round from Draper Associates, SAGE Venture Fund, MoSJE, IFCI Ventures, and SIDBI. The Mumbai-based startup was also featured on Shark Tank India last year, adding visibility to its preventive health approach. This comes after its earlier $1 million round in April 2025 and $500K raise in February 2024.
Capital to strengthen tech and clinical capabilities
The fresh funds will be used to enhance its technology stack, expand clinical capabilities, and build scalable, evidence-based solutions. Ivory is focusing on creating medically validated products that can integrate into mainstream healthcare systems.
Building preventive brain health infrastructure
Founded in early 2023 by Issac John and Rahul Krishnan, Ivory is a brain health platform focused on early detection and cognitive care. It combines neuroscience, neuropsychology, and data-driven interventions to help users track and improve cognitive performance through its app.
Clinical-grade assessments with personalised insights
The platform offers clinical-grade cognitive assessments and personalised brain health programs, supported by a multidisciplinary team across neuroscience, neurology, general medicine, and neuropsychology. This enables users to move beyond reactive care toward proactive cognitive wellness.
Strategic partnerships expand healthcare integration
Ivory is expanding its ecosystem partnerships and recently collaborated with Metropolis Healthcare to launch the TruHealth Mind & Body package, combining pathology diagnostics with neuroscience-based assessments for preventive care.
Market outlook: Rising focus on cognitive health
As awareness around mental and cognitive health grows, Ivory is addressing a key gap by making cognitive screening accessible and trackable. It competes with global players such as Cogstate, Altoida, BrainCheck, and Linus Health, along with traditional tools like MoCA and MMSE.
