- **Headquarters**: Menlo Park, California, United States
- **Founded**: 2015
- **Founders**: Not publicly disclosed

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Healthcare IT / Real-World Evidence (RWE) for life sciences
- **Target customers**: B2B – top-10 life sciences firms, regulatory agencies (FDA), health systems
- **Mission or purpose**: To make possible what seemed impossible—generating high-validity real-world evidence at scale that enables regulatory and reimbursement approvals.

## Products & Services
- **[Pragmatic Registry](https://verantos.com)**: Disease-specific registry of subjects generated from routinely collected real-world data. Provides clinically rich, high-reliability data in standardized OMOP CDM format, ready for research-grade evidence generation. (SaaS / Data product)
- **[High-Validity RWE Platform](https://verantos.com)**: Integrates heterogeneous real-world data sources (EHR clinical narratives, claims) and uses AI to produce evidence for clinical development, market access, medical affairs, pharmacovigilance, and regulatory initiatives. (SaaS Platform)

## Market Standing
- **Valuation / Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Annual Revenue ~$6.7M (latest estimate) and Total Funding ~$1.4M (all grants from NSF, NIH)
