Healthtech startup Datamonk has raised €1.6 million in pre-seed funding to automate medical imaging data migrations and improve data quality using agentic AI.
The round was led by Healthy.Capital and Nina Capital, with participation from Jeroen Tas (former Chief Innovation & Strategy Officer at Philips), Harm-Jan Wessels (founder of Applicare, Forcare, and Healthsage AI), Antler, and Rabobank.
The funding will support platform development, AI capability expansion, and team growth, as Datamonk looks to solve one of healthcare IT’s most persistent challenges: moving and cleaning decades of medical imaging data.
Transforming how hospitals migrate medical imaging data
Hospitals store millions of X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs in Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) — many of which are outdated and fragmented. Traditional migrations to new PACS systems are slow, manual, and costly, often taking more than a year and involving teams of consultants.
Datamonk’s agentic AI platform automates this process. Its AI agents detect and fix metadata issues, standardize study naming, and validate data integrity — all while migrations run. The result: hospitals can migrate imaging data 5–10× faster, at a fraction of the cost.
“Clean and connected data is the foundation of modern healthcare — from daily clinical decisions to cutting-edge 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’s ready for clinical workflows, research, and innovation.”

The round brings together prominent European healthtech investors with deep domain expertise.
“Access to integrated diagnostic data is essential for modern healthcare, but imaging migrations have long been a bottleneck,” said Jeroen Tas, former Philips executive and Datamonk investor. “The Datamonk team combines healthcare, data, and AI expertise to solve this challenge at scale.”
“Imaging data is among the most complex areas in healthcare IT,” added Marta G. Zanchi, founder and Managing Partner at Nina Capital. “Datamonk’s use of agentic AI provides a scalable, intelligent way to standardize and migrate data — laying the groundwork for interoperability and future innovation.”
Douwe Jippes, co-founder and Managing Partner at Healthy.Capital, noted: “Datamonk is solving a problem every hospital faces. Its platform will help make radiology more affordable and accessible while powering the next generation of connected healthcare.”
Building the data layer for modern healthcare
Founded in 2024 by Jaap Gielink, Jai Bhatia (co-founder of Viewics, acquired by Roche Diagnostics), and Matthew Condron (former CTO at DesAcc), Datamonk combines deep experience in healthcare data, cloud infrastructure, and AI.
The startup’s mission is to build the foundational data layer that enables hospitals to manage, clean, and activate medical imaging data for clinical use, research, and next-generation AI tools.
