RIIG, a provider of AI-driven risk intelligence and cybersecurity solutions, has announced the successful closure of a new funding round from investors in the United Arab Emirates. The funding marks a major milestone in the company’s strategic shift toward the health tech and insurance automation sectors.
As part of a broader rebranding effort, the company will now operate as HOOTL (Humans Out of the Loop) — a new identity that underscores its commitment to developing next-generation AI tools for verifying insurance, automating claims, and tackling some of healthcare’s most complex operational challenges.
“We are greatly appreciative of this new round of funding and look forward to expanding our partnerships in the UAE,” said Denver Riggleman, CEO of RIIG – HOOTL.
“Investors recognize our platform as a breakthrough in health tech, especially in the verification and adjudication of insurance claims.”
Regional Office in the UAE to Foster Deeper Collaboration
HOOTL plans to open a regional office in the UAE, positioning itself closer to key regional stakeholders and taking advantage of the country’s rapidly evolving digital infrastructure, favorable regulatory environment, and innovation-driven economy.
Strategic Talks with Government and Tech Leaders
During the leadership team’s recent visit to the UAE, HOOTL engaged in high-level discussions with government representatives from one of the Emirates and senior executives from a leading regional technology group. These talks reaffirmed HOOTL’s alignment with national priorities in AI, healthcare innovation, and digital infrastructure.
The funding also follows the U.S. Administration’s recent visit to the region, signaling an era of deeper investment pathways between the U.S. and the Middle East.
