BBiorce
Biorce is a Barcelona-based healthtech startup that built Aika, an AI operating system for clinical trial development covering protocol design, feasibility analysis, patient identification, budgeting, contracting, monitoring, and regulatory submission. Founded in 2024 by former life-sciences consultants, it serves pharma companies, biotechs, and CROs and claims to cut clinical development costs and timelines by roughly 50-70%. It closed a $52.5M Series A in February 2026 led by DST Global, bringing total funding to over $60M in its first year, and is expanding from Barcelona into Austin and New York.
