Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Rhino develops what it calls Federated Computing: an enterprise-grade computing layer that executes AI model training and analytics across distributed data environments so that source data never leaves the institution that holds it. The platform combines centralized orchestration with execution at the edge, plus aggregation of federated learning results and federated analytics, and is deployed as a multi-cloud, hybrid system designed to integrate with the IT ecosystems of regulated enterprises.

The company positions its technology for sectors where data cannot be centralized because of regulation, privacy concerns, cyber risk and operational constraints — principally healthcare, pharmaceuticals and financial services — and states it is extending into insurance and other regulated industries. Stated use cases include federated generative AI for drug development and protein design (cited in connection with the FAITE Biopharma Consortium), hospital data harmonization and cross-institution collaboration (cited with Sheba Medical Center), and shared fraud-detection models among financial institutions (cited in connection with Swift financial fraud prevention).

Founding story

Rhino was founded following the EXAM study, a multi-institutional effort published in Nature Medicine in September 2021 that demonstrated federated learning could train AI models across clinical institutions without moving the underlying data. The company's co-founder and CEO is Dr. Ittai Dayan. According to the company, that result prompted the broader thesis that if most data in regulated industries cannot be centralized, computation should instead be distributed to the data — the basis for its Federated Computing approach.

Business model

Rhino provides a software infrastructure layer to enterprises in regulated industries, deployed across customers' cloud and on-premise environments with centralized orchestration and edge execution; prospective customers are directed to request a demo.

Traction

Rhino states it has developed and validated its stack with the majority of Newsweek's top 20 digital hospitals, the majority of the top 10 global pharmaceutical companies, and large financial institutions, and reports named engagements including the FAITE Biopharma Consortium, Sheba Medical Center and Swift financial fraud prevention work. It reported 100+ active edge nodes as of May 2025.

Latest developments

In May 2025 Rhino announced a $15 million Series A led by AlleyCorp with participation from LionBird, Fusion Fund, Arkin Digital Health, Qiming Venture Partners USA, TELUS Global Ventures, Wilson's Bird Capital and Keren Maccabi, alongside the milestone of surpassing 100 active edge nodes.

▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history

Market position

The company describes itself as the most well-funded and mature Federated Computing company in the world and as a category leader in federated AI infrastructure.

Rhino frames its differentiator as extending beyond federated learning to a general federated computing layer that keeps data in place while enabling AI and analytics across institutions, delivered as an enterprise-grade, multi-cloud system integrated into regulated enterprise IT.

Technology

The platform provides a federated computing layer with centralized orchestration, edge execution, and federated learning and analytics aggregation, operating as a multi-cloud and hybrid system supporting both same-cloud and multi-cloud federation. Development began in collaboration with NVIDIA, and the company reports deep integration into infrastructure underlying a large share of global cloud compute workloads. As of May 2025 the company reported more than 100 active edge nodes.

Go-to-market

Following its Series A, the company said it would accelerate go-to-market across regulated industries, expand its ecosystem of collaborators and stakeholders, broaden support for federated AI use cases, and continue investing in privacy-preserving, AI-native infrastructure.

Regulated enterprises that cannot centralize sensitive data, including hospitals and health systems, pharmaceutical and biopharma companies, financial institutions, and insurers.

Geography

The company reports edge nodes connecting data centers, virtual private clouds and secure environments around the world, with named collaborations including Sheba Medical Center.

History

Over roughly four years from its founding, Rhino built out its federated architecture, beginning in collaboration with NVIDIA and later expanding into a multi-cloud, hybrid platform. In May 2025 the company announced an oversubscribed $15 million Series A led by AlleyCorp, stating at the time that it had surpassed 100 active edge nodes across data centers, virtual private clouds and secure environments.
