Fibronostics, a global company providing non-invasive, algorithmic diagnostics for NASH patients, announced that it has secured $8 million in series A funding. The financing round was led by AT Capital, a leading private investment firm in Asia and Elev8.vc, an early stage deep-tech VC fund.
This funding arrives as Fibronostics’ lead product, LIVERFASt, has recently been granted a Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code by the American Medical Association, with the highest reimbursement fee in its category, facilitating market access in the United States.

LIVERFASt is a non-invasive patented test that works with a simple blood draw. Using a combination of AI technology and broadly available biomarkers, the test enables precise staging of organ lesions to diagnose liver disease. A cloud platform offers seamless integration with healthcare providers to deliver the right treatment at the right time.
“Liver disease has historically required more invasive procedures such as biopsies,” said Sanjay Bakliwal, CIO, AT Capital. “We believe Fibronostics’ technology can relieve some of the burden placed on health care systems today, providing a low risk, cost-effective and scalable diagnostics solution. We are excited to partner with Tikehau Capital and SPRIM Ventures to take the company to the next level of growth.”

The company has plans to penetrate new markets and grow its line of products.
“We are thrilled to receive this funding from new and existing investors,” said Roni Amiel, CEO, Fibronostics. “The financing will accelerate the commercialization of LIVERFASt in the U.S. and help expand our SaaS platform with new products targeting other disease states, including COVID-19, kidney and lung diseases.”
