  • EndoVantage, founded in 2013, operated as a medical simulation technology developer, originating from technology developed at the Mayo Clinic and Arizona State University. It was headquartered in Scottsdale, AZ, and focused on providing computational tools for the personalized planning of endovascular treatments, specifically for cerebral aneurysms. The core of its business was a cloud-based platform, SurgicalPreview™, which received FDA 510(k) clearance in November 2017. This preoperative planning system converted a patient's 2D CT imaging data into a functional 3D model. This allowed clinicians to visualize a patient's unique anatomy, take measurements, and simulate treatment scenarios with a library of FDA-approved neurological devices. By modeling device placement and deployment, the tool aimed to help surgeons select the correct device size and strategy before an operation, addressing a key challenge in endovascular procedures. The platform served both clinicians for preoperative planning and medical device companies, offering a 'virtual clinical trial' environment to test devices and potentially shorten development and regulatory approval timelines. The company's business model appeared to be service-based, where clinicians could upload patient data and request computational models. In June 2020, EndoVantage was acquired by RapidAI, a developer of advanced imaging software for stroke. The acquisition integrated EndoVantage's aneurysm management platform, described as "Find, Track, and Treat," into RapidAI's broader portfolio for cerebrovascular imaging, expanding its capabilities from ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke to include aneurysm care. Prior to its acquisition, EndoVantage had raised at least $1.02 million from investors including ASU-Mayo Seed Grant and the American Heart Association Ventures.

The study found that users of the Enfuego platform had a 57% higher rate of finding employment compared to those using the state's existing systems. Furthermore, the data suggested improved job-fit, as platform users were 20% less likely to return for unemployment benefits.

It integrates team collaboration tools like chat, documents, and project management with an AI super agent. This AI agent is capable of creating custom applications, executing complex workflows autonomously, and self-coding new capabilities to solve problems.

The core of Moxby is its autonomous execution capability; it can manage tasks such as social media campaigns or lead follow-ups from start to finish. If the system encounters a task it doesn't know how to perform, it can teach itself by writing and deploying new code in real time. This approach shifts businesses from renting software to creating and owning it, positioning Moxby as a next-generation tool that automates end-to-end workflows within a single, integrated environment.
