RiskSignalData
The First AI Platform for Pet and Animal Drug Safety

Project Description
The Story
How safe is the drug your vet just prescribed to your beloved pet, your "soulmate", your "buddy", your everything?
You probably don’t know.
Your vet probably doesn’t either.
Here's the reality:
New veterinary drugs are often introduced by pharmaceutical sales reps during quick lunch & learns or Zoom calls. These reps are salespeople, not doctors, driven by commissions - not patient outcomes.
And odds are, your vet never even told you the drug’s name, let alone its risks - or asked for your consent. In some states that's illegal.
The FDA?
They don’t test the drugs. And the data they rely on? It’s thin. Pre-market safety testing is typically outsourced by pharmaceutical companies and conducted on a small number of young, healthy pets, often fewer than 100. These test subjects don’t reflect the real-world patients who actually need these drugs - seniors, pets with chronic illness, or those recovering from surgery. Side effects in these vulnerable groups are often more severe - and the drugs are almost never tested alongside the other medications vets routinely prescribe.
The true risks don’t emerge until thousands of pets suffer or die.
The FDA relies entirely on drug company data, data the public never sees.
FOIA requests? Sure, if you're willing to wait months and pay for a heavily redacted report. The FDA doesn’t warn the public for years. They don’t warn your vet. They don’t even name the drug in their own safety data.
And 45% of the FDA’s budget? It’s funded by the very companies they’re supposed to regulate.
Understaffed and under pressure, the FDA rarely acts on post-market harm. Once a veterinary drug is approved, it’s nearly impossible to get it pulled from the market, or even to update its label. Pharmaceutical companies delay safety warnings because they fear lawsuits from investors - not from you.
When pressed, their PR statement is always the same - the drug was administered to millions of pets, and the number of deaths is statistically small. But here’s the truth - no one sees how many units were really sold. That number is deliberately hidden from the public. Pharmaceutical companies release it only under subpoena.
So when your pet suffers seizures, cancer, shock, organ failure - or worse - you’re left in the dark. And stuck with the bill. Thousands of dollars. No answers. No accountability.
Lawsuits? Useless. Pets are legally considered property, with no intrinsic value. We’ve been through it.
That’s what happened to us and to hundreds of other pet owners that we've spoken with.
That’s why we are building RiskSignalData - to expose the drug risks no one else will.
RiskSignalData.ai is designed to prevent avoidable animal deaths by transforming decades of drug safety data into real-time, AI-powered insight.

We’re building the first AI drug safety platform for veterinary medicine, because although regulatory agencies collect drug safety data, there is no transparency into how - or even whether - that data is ever reviewed.
These agencies do not perform testing, do not run analytics, and do not use AI to recognize patterns of harm buried in the millions of records they receive. Nearly half of their funding comes from the very companies they regulate, and recent staffing cuts have made timely oversight even less likely. Meanwhile, 40 years of drug safety data exists - but remains buried. Regulatory drug safety files are unstructured, inaccessible, and difficult to analyze. There is no public-facing system that automatically flags drug risk patterns, alerts stakeholders, or helps prevent future harm.
As a result, real-world signals, sometimes pointing to fatal risk, go unseen for months or years. Pet owners remain unaware. Veterinarians continue prescribing without updated insight. And the agencies responsible for oversight remain silent, with no visibility into their process or timelines.
Our work has already been recognized by the National Science Foundation. This is early validation of a problem the industry has long ignored, and a signal that the time for a solution is now.
Our mission is to fix that. RiskSignalData.ai delivers independent, AI-powered analytics to bring these signals to light, so every decision-maker can act faster and more responsibly. This lack of visibility has life-or-death consequences. And no one else is solving it.
Market Opportunity

Our Product
We are designing a platform that will process decades of fragmented drug safety data, starting with FDA CMV, built on a Neuro-Symbolic AI (NeSy AI) framework. This hybrid AI model will allow us to structure safety data, identify meaningful relationships, and identify and flag early safety signals of risk that would otherwise remain hidden.

On the front end, we’ll integrate LLM-based natural language interface, enabling users to ask the questions quickly, so that pet owners, veterinarians, and other stakeholders can access meaningful insight without needing technical expertise.
Until now, there has been no intelligent or accessible way to understand how veterinary drugs perform post-market approval. RiskSignalData.ai is designed to close that gap, with explainable, real-time insight designed for action.

Why Now
We’re raising funds to build the first working version of RiskSignalData.ai, an AI web-based platform that will help uncover risks in veterinary drugs by analyzing decades of real-world safety data.
Your support will help us:
Begin building the system that will process 40 years FDA veterinary drug safety data
Create the AI engine, the “brain” of the platform, that will detect patterns and highlight potential risk in drug safety
Design the search and results interface that will allow users ask plain-language questions and get answers in a ChatGPT-like format
Our Team
RiskSignalData.ai is founded and led by a technical product manager who has spent past 15 years building successful AI platforms for companies like Disney, LiveRamp, and others in high-scale, data-driven environments. She brings deep experience and skills now laser-focused on solving a problem in the veterinary pharmaceutical industry that has long been ignored.
After losing her cat Vitto to a new veterinary drug with no warnings from the pharmaceutical company or the veterinary team that handled Vitto's care, the founder made the decision to step away from enterprise tech and build something that didn’t exist: an application that brings life-saving transparency to animal drug safety data.
She’s joined by a lean but expert team:
A team of developers with experience in full-stack development, database architecture, data visualization, and AI integration, bringing the technical foundation needed to build a platform that can handle large-scale safety data and deliver real-time insights through a clean, user-friendly interface.
Advisory board includes experts in FDA regulatory compliance, biomedical research, and drug safety, with decades of experience spanning human and animal health, adverse event reporting, and scientific data integrity.
We’re intentionally lean and mission-driven. Every dollar goes directly into building the first public intelligence platform for post-market veterinary drug safety, designed to prevent the next tragedy before it happens again.
❤️ Thank You
Thank you for supporting RiskSignalData! 🐾
By backing this campaign, you’re doing more than funding a startup, you’re helping to build something that should have existed long ago - a platform that puts real-world veterinary drug safety data into the hands of people who deserve to see it, people like you.
This mission is deeply personal. It was born out of loss, after a catastrophic drug reaction took the life of a beloved cat with no warning, no antidote, and no way to trace the risk. What followed was a hard realization: even when post-market harms are reported, the data stays buried. Veterinarians don’t see it. Pet owners don’t know it exists. Regulators won’t say if they’re acting on it - and even those most accountable, lack the objective and full picture.
That’s what we’re here to change.
With your help, we’re creating a platform powered by AI, backed by science and data, and driven by compassion. A place where patterns of harm don’t get ignored, where decisions are informed by data, and where lives, animal and human, can be protected through transparency.
Every dollar you contribute helps us move faster: to build smarter tools, launch a working prototype, and push back against an industry that has operated in the dark for far too long. We know this won’t be easy. But thanks to you, we’re not doing it alone.
Thank you for standing with us. Thank you for helping us make veterinary drug safety visible. ❤️
