Brain health startup Ivory has raised $1 million in a new funding round co-led by IIM-A Ventures and Capital A.
The round also saw participation from 1Crowd, Stanford Angels, and angel investors including Dr. Sanjay Arora, Adarsh Narahari, and Juhi Bhatnagar.
This funding follows a $500K investment in February 2024 led by Capital A, highlighting growing investor confidence in Ivory’s mission to transform brain health in India.
Founded in 2022 by Issac John and Rahul Krishnan, Ivory focuses on the early detection of cognitive decline through neuroscience-backed digital assessments.
The company aims to address the widespread underdiagnosis of cognitive issues and develop preventive solutions against neurodegenerative diseases.
With the fresh capital, Ivory plans to enhance its AI-driven cognitive assessment technology, grow its presence across India, and invest in research to build brain health benchmarks tailored for the Indian population.

The company recently released a Brain Health Report and gained national attention through its appearance on Shark Tank India Season 4, where it secured an investment of ₹50 lakh from Namita Thapar for 5% equity.
