Surgical Automations Announces Closing of $3.4 Million Oversubscribed Seed Round (PR Newswire)

In a move signaling the next leap in GI innovation, Dallas-based Surgical Automations has raised $3.4 million in an oversubscribed seed round co-led by Dr. Fred Moll (founder of Intuitive Surgical) and TurboStart. Operating largely in stealth, the company is developing the Vāsuki Robotic System — a platform combining robotics, sensors, and AI-driven navigation to automate key steps in upper and lower GI procedures. With ambitions to make colonoscopy faster, safer, and more precise, Surgical Automations is now advancing toward pre-clinical validation and its first human trials.
