Welcome back to who are these startups? I am the startup coach, founder of Torontostarts and with me today is Mike Leslie, co founder of Revela. Welcome, Mike. Mike Leslie of Revela.io  00:15 Hey, Craig, nice to Nice to meet you. And thanks for the time. The Startup Coach  00:17 What does Revela do? Mike Leslie of Revela.io  00:19 So Revela is a machine learning and AI monitoring system. So basically provide guardrails for AI machine learning models and production goal, they're making sure that they're basically performing properly, and they're not getting too stale over time. And then ultimately, you know, being unbiased and all that kind of stuff. The Startup Coach  00:37 Who is Revela For? Mike Leslie of Revela.io  00:39 So Revela is for machine learning? Engineers and data scientists are the users, they're the ones who basically use it to understand when do you want to retrain your model. So you got them all in production, you know, when's the best time to retrain it, minimize your use of compute power, and just your own time as far as like managing that. And we also appeal to the executive team as well. So this might be a CEO of an enterprise he wants to gain some visibility into how are my machine learning AI investments performing, right, so we are that way to measure that and then bring that information up to say, putting money in these areas. So it's fraud detection, running, insurance claims, so on and so forth. And understanding how that is playing out as far as investing further into it. The Startup Coach  01:20 What is your startup story Mike Leslie of Revela.io  01:22 Revela started four years ago, 2019, we were actually a machine learning AI consulting company before that. And then we decided through the insight we gained seeing these machine learning engineering projects basically fail over time, because we could help them develop it, we'd leave, the models would basically go stale over time, and start drifting. So we decided to pivot to become a product company early last year to make sure that, you know, we can help more teams prevent that issue from happening in the future. The Startup Coach  01:49 What drives you, Mike Leslie of Revela.io  01:51 it's really about just enabling this massive deployment and explosion of like AI technologies that we're seeing globally right now.

Welcome back to who are the startups I am the startup coach founder front of starts. And with me today is Amy Lorincz, CEO and co founder of Vope medical. Welcome, Amy. Amy Lorincz  Thanks for having me. The Startup Coach  What does Vope medical do Amy Lorincz  so we are developing an AI driven software that improves vision and minimally invasive surgery. This is compared to a mechanical cleaning process where a surgeon has to physically clean a camera lens, we're taking a different approach and leveraging computer vision to clean the image feed that the surgeon sees so that surgeries can go on seamlessly and efficiently. The Startup Coach  Is it for a specific type of hospital a specific type of surgeon. Amy Lorincz  It is for surgeons and patients and this is any surgeon that is performing endoscopic procedures, so procedures that require a small camera lens to see a picture of the surgical site. So for them, we're really solving the problem where as you can imagine, if you're performing surgery and can't see what you're doing, it's highly stressful and disruptive. And surgeons really want to focus on the procedures they're performing in their patients. So solving that problem for them. And then on the patient side with our software, we can actually reduce the time that they spend in surgery. So that's better from a healing perspective and patient safety perspective. So really developing the software for the surgeons and the patients. The Startup Coach  What is your startup story. Amy Lorincz   This startup started from a surgical innovation program at McGill, we interviewed 30 minimally invasive surgeons found that vision as a problem were typically 37% of the total time in surgery, surgeons can't actually see clearly what they're doing. So from there, we decided to address that problem with a different approach that is currently not on the market, and really validated that problem with them. And the product we're solving for using a computer vision approach and a software cleaning approach to cleaning this lens contamination. And from there really brought on different researchers on our team. So we have a PhD researcher Dimitri, who's our CTO from Mila, also Martin on our technical team to help us with the software development side of things. So that's pretty much how we started and where we're at right now. What drives you, I have a background in industrial engineering. So I've always been really interested in optimizing processes and systems and I also have a really big passion for the healthcare industry and making improvements there. So those two coupled and finding a solution to a persisting problem in the space that hasn't been solved yet is super motivating. For me,

So I started researching this area about five years ago, and I collaborated with the computer scientists from the University of Toronto, and we started to prototype how to generate this AI scribe tool, and we got really good performance. And so during the pandemic, we refined the prototype into you know, alpha, beta, and did all the privacy, security and legal stuff required and healthcare and we've been in the market for the last four months with, we're now up to 10 users of our product, The Startup Coach  and how do you define success.
