Investment Notes: MediScan AI

MediScan AI, a West Coast US startup is replacing the slow, manual admin behind personal injury and insurance claims with AI-first tools built for physicians: transforming a niche but essential industry that's long been underserved by modern software.

We’re thrilled to have led MediScan AI’s Seed round, partnering with the team to transform how independent medical evaluators do their work. Today, these experts rely heavily on outsourced admin services to collate records, manage paperwork, and structure reports. Many give up 25-30% of their revenue just to get the job done. These services are expensive, outdated, and inefficient. MediScan AI is building the software that replaces them. The product helps evaluators handle more cases, in less time, with no loss of quality.

Markets with tailwinds

The US personal injury market is under pressure. The number of insurance claims is rising, driven by increasing litigation and new sources of medical data. At the same time, the experts who assess these cases, known as independent medical evaluators or IMEs, are at capacity.

There are around 100,000 IMEs in the US, working within a USD 16 billion market. They are critical to the success of high-stakes legal and insurance claims, yet their workflow remains slow and manual. Documents arrive in disorganised batches, often handwritten, and it can take days to prepare a single report. With insurance losses reaching USD 143 billion last year, and evaluators struggling to keep up, the market is wide open for change.

Generative AI has reached a point where it can handle entire workflows, not just automate isolated tasks. MediScan AI is stepping in at exactly the right time.

Products that change the game

MediScan has built a platform that turns messy medical records into clear, structured reports. It handles everything from scanning and cleaning documents to pulling out key facts and creating medical timelines. Evaluators can search across an entire case using plain language. They might ask questions like “When did symptoms first appear?” or “What treatment was prescribed?” and get instant, accurate answers.

The most powerful feature is how the system learns. Every time a physician edits or refines the output, the software improves. This feedback loop is built directly into the product, meaning the quality increases with every case reviewed. Most competitors rely on manual checking and outsourced review. MediScan AI does not. Their model improves through direct use by the experts themselves.

The result is speed without trade-offs. Evaluators using MediScan AI report a dramatic reduction in admin time and a big lift in case volume. That translates to more income for them and better, faster outcomes for the lawyers and insurers who rely on their insights.

Founders that hustle

MediScan AI is led by co-founders Kavian Mojabe and Sean Podvent, based on the US West Coast. Kavian, CEO and CTO, is a software engineer with personal context. His father worked as a medical evaluator, giving him firsthand insight into the problems these professionals face. He has built systems at Amazon and in startups through to acquisition, bringing both technical skill and sharp product thinking.

Sean, COO, is a multi-time healthtech founder with a successful exit. He knows the sales cycle, understands healthcare customers, and has built and scaled SaaS businesses from scratch. His most recent company, Hygiene IQ, was acquired in 2023.

Together, they have kept the business lean and focused. They have won early customers through founder-led sales, used customer feedback to shape the product, and stayed disciplined on spend.

A compelling business model

MediScan’s first customers are individual evaluators and small groups. These professionals make independent buying decisions and are motivated to increase their efficiency. This makes them ideal early adopters.

What makes the model even stronger is how naturally it expands. MediScan AI is not just a tool for one step of the process. They are building an end-to-end system that can support the full lifecycle of medical evaluations.

• Act I: Give individual evaluators better tools to process records and write reports.
• Act II: Support physician management groups with scheduling, billing, and admin.
• Act III: Connect evaluators directly with law firms and insurers through a centralised platform.

By owning the core workflow, MediScan AI captures valuable medical insights that competitors cannot easily access. That data, structured and validated by physicians, is what makes the product stronger over time.

Global appeal

While MediScan AI is focused on the US today, the problem is global. Healthcare and insurance systems everywhere struggle with medical record reviews, especially in complex claims. The burden is high and the workflows are broken.

By proving their product in one of the most regulated and high-stakes markets in the world, MediScan AI is setting a strong foundation for international expansion. They are building with an AI-first approach and physician input at every stage, which positions them well to grow across jurisdictions.

The Seed phase and beyond

MediScan AI is early but executing with clarity. The funds from this round will go toward expanding the technical team, building out customer success, and adding features that improve collaboration and compliance.

This is a workflow that has long been overlooked. It has been buried in paperwork and powered by expensive overhead. MediScan AI is taking a software-first approach to reshaping it. They are not chasing trends. They are solving a deep, specific problem that sits at the heart of billion-dollar insurance and legal systems.

The opportunity in vertical AI is not simply about replacing manual work. It is about giving professionals more control, more leverage, and better tools to do what they do best. In MediScan AI’s case, that means helping physicians who move markets work faster, smarter, and on their own terms.

We are proud to partner with Kavian and Sean as they build the future of this category.
