Cambridge, MA – April 1, 2022 – Rayyan Systems Inc., developers of an AI assisted collaboration platform to conduct systematic literature reviews in significantly less time, has opened a two-month window for investment through an equity crowdfunding campaign on Wefunder that closes at the end of April. To date, Rayyan Systems has raised $800,000 in investments: $220,000 received in cloud services from Microsoft and Google; and $300,000 from angel investors.
Rayyan Systems is a mission-driven organization that is democratizing access to research tools and unlocking the societal benefits of accelerated scientific and medical findings around the world. Developed by researchers for researchers, Rayyan uses a combination of advanced AI technologies to produce a highly popular research collaboration platform that is helping researchers turn weeks’ worth of work into days.
“Rayyan was developed with a highly user-centric design philosophy and with guidance from subject matter experts at a computing and research institute,” said Rayyan Systems CEO Robert Ayan. “By partnering computer intelligence with human researching knowledge and capabilities, we’ve created an environment for greater human-computer research collaboration and produced capabilities that neither humans nor computers possess alone. Our system will save thousands of years of collective human research capacity every year that might otherwise be lost to wasteful inefficiency.”
Rayyan Systems was founded by Robert Ayan, an MIT graduate and Entrepreneur in Residence at QCRI, where he met Hossam Hammady, an experienced full-stack developer and systems architect who worked with a team of research scientists to guide Rayyan’s development from its inception. This collaboration provided the ideal combination of resources, experience, and knowledge to create a frictionless user experience that eliminates time consuming and tedious tasks around scientific and medical research to allow researchers to spend more time producing the highest quality research and accelerating scientific and medical findings.
“There has been greater recognition for the role of our solution to assist the long, arduous and tedious process of conducting systematic literature reviews,” said Ayan. “Researchers are actively looking for a solution, and we’re leading the charge by providing just what they need with our research platform. Rayyan’s accessibility to researchers everywhere continues to make it a popular platform for research collaboration across 180 countries.”
Rayyan has the combined ability to handle very large datasets while featuring the most advanced and responsible use of AI technologies to provide highly trusted evidence. It is highly flexible and conforms to the researcher, rather than making the researcher conform to a predetermined workflow, which provides the flexibility to support a diversity of use cases. Rayyan is highly intuitive and researchers claim to be able to learn how to use it within minutes without any training. Rayyan is also the most highly accessible solution and supports the largest community of practice represented by more than 175,000 researchers across 180 countries.
Funding raised through Wefunder will support Rayyan’s scalability of users and revenue through a product-led strategy that relies on hiring more engineers to deliver the best product and user experience.
“We would like to go the distance and become the dominant research collaboration platform powering the global research community,” said Ayan. “We want to serve the largest segment of researchers who need access to tools that save their valuable time and that help them accelerate scientific and medical findings that improve the human condition – and this funding is imperative to doing so. Investors will be joining us in transforming how researchers share and gain knowledge, saving time and accelerating scientific discovery for the greater good of all.”
Rayyan System’s equity crowdfunding campaign is open and is designed to accept any size investment, starting as low as $250.
