Elucidata Corporation, a Cambridge, MA- and New Delhi, India-based data science company focused on developing tools and software solutions for drug discovery, raised $1.7m in seed funding.
The round was led by Hyperplane Venture Capital with participation from some angels.
The company intends to use the funds to expand its team, add to its operations in New Delhi, and launch new discovery tools.
