About Richard Rubin
BetaKit describes Richard Rubin as a co-founder of Intelerad. His LinkedIn profile is linked below.
We could not find a personal site, an X account, or a public statement from him about his career beyond that description. This page leaves out anything we could not confirm.
The public record we found names one investment: the Scopia Surgical pre-seed round. Press coverage lists him as an angel investor in that round. We did not find a Crunchbase profile or other portfolio listing that gives his earlier angel investments or their years.
Rubin took part in the pre-seed round of Scopia Surgical, a Montreal startup building AI-powered surgical-navigation software. Scopia announced the round on September 1, 2026. The Lounge deals desk lists it as $2.65M, and the company and press report it as C$2.65M.
Linearis Ventures and Anges Québec co-led the round. Fonds Impulsion, HaloHealth, Suresh Madan and other investors also took part. BetaKit reports it was a convertible note round that closed the month before the announcement. Scopia is developing software that builds patient-specific 3D anatomical models from CT or MRI imaging. It shows them alongside the live surgical view during minimally invasive and robotic procedures. The funds are for engineering and clinical hiring, product development, and a first clinical validation in hospitals in Canada and the United States.
The one confirmed investment is at pre-seed, in AI applied to healthcare and surgery. That is too little to describe a wider thesis. His check size, preferred stages and geographies are not public, and he has made no public statement about what he looks for in founders.
