The pre-seed round was led by Healthy.Capital and Nina Capital, with participation from notable angel investors including Jeroen Tas, former Chief Innovation & Strategy Officer at Philips, and Harm-Jan Wessels, Founder of Applicare (acquired by GE), Forcare (acquired by Philips), and HealthSsage AI. The total also includes earlier support from Antler and Rabobank. The funding will support platform development, the advancement of AI capabilities, and team growth.

Hospitals and imaging providers hold decades of X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs in Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS). They want to move to new PACS to modernise, consolidate and enable AI. But consultant-led migrations of millions of studies are slow and expensive, often taking a year or more to complete.

Datamonk uses agentic AI to automate PACS migrations and improve data quality along the way. Its software agents detect and fix metadata issues, standardise study naming, and validate data integrity while the migration runs. This means hospitals can go live five to ten times faster and avoid much of the manual effort and cost of traditional consultant-led projects.

“Clean and connected data is the foundation for modern healthcare, from everyday clinical decisions to the deployment of new AI applications,” said Jaap Gielink, CEO and Co-Founder of Datamonk. “We don’t just move imaging data, we clean it and make it usable so hospitals can trust it is ready for clinical workflows, research, and innovation.”

“Getting access to integrated diagnostic data and insights is critical for healthcare providers, but imaging data migrations to the cloud have been a major showstopper. The Datamonk team brings a rare mix of healthcare, data, and AI expertise to solve this problem at scale,” said Jeroen Tas, former Chief Innovation & Strategy Officer at Philips.

“Imaging data is one of the most technically demanding areas of healthcare IT, given its scale and complexity. Datamonk’s use of agentic AI offers a scalable way to standardize and migrate data, creating the foundation for interoperability and future innovation,” said Marta G. Zanchi, founder and Managing Partner at Nina Capital.

“Datamonk is solving a problem for every hospital and vendor. Datamonk’s platform will help keep radiology affordable and accessible. We are excited to back the team in their mission to power healthcare with clean, connected data,” said Douwe Jippes, co-founder and Managing Partner at Healthy.Capital.

Datamonk was founded by Jaap Gielink (serial entrepreneur), Jai Bhatia (Co-Founder of Viewics, a healthcare analytics platform acquired by Roche Diagnostics), and Matthew Condron (former CTO of healthcare data migration consultancy DesAcc). Datamonk’s growing team combines deep expertise in healthcare data, Cloud technologies, and AI to build the data layer for modern healthcare.
