Kadmos Capital is a UK-based venture capital fund focused on early-stage deep-tech companies with positive impact across artificial intelligence, sustainability and longevity.
The financing round was led by Soulmates Ventures with backing from several new and existing investors.
"Antiverse is tackling one of the most technically demanding problems in drug discovery. The team’s ability to reduce the development time for de novo therapeutic-grade antibodies in a defined domain to under four months is a significant scientific and operational achievement. This capability, combined with the AI-driven design and in-house labs, positions Antiverse on track to become a global leader and the go-to developer of antibody therapies for the most elusive disease targets in medicine"
The oversubscribed financing was led by Ahren Innovation Capital and will support preclinical validation and platform development.
"Partnering with the team at o2h discovery is a fantastic milestone for OutSee as we look ahead to commencing our first drug discovery programme and showcasing the potential of our Nomaly platform to revolutionise target discovery. The agreement is testament to the strength of our technology and, in combination with the closure of our oversubscribed seed funding round, kicks off a very exciting year. Thank you to our investors and supporters for their continued support, and the hard work and dedication of our team."
The funding was co-led by Kadmos Capital and Clay Capital to expand the company's enzyme engine and wet-lab capabilities.
"Scindo represents exactly the type of company we seek to back – one that combines data-driven approaches with strong technical talent to address sustainability challenges,"
The financing round was led by Ahren Innovation Capital and will support the expansion of the company's in-house target discovery programme.
"OutSee’s Nomaly technology is a truly next-generation genomic analysis tool with potential to transform drug discovery using powerful data-driven insights. It allows us to interrogate smaller datasets, and even data that has already been analysed, to uncover unique target insights that until now would have remained undetected."
The latest investment brings total equity financing to £7.2m and will support clinical progression of internal assets.
"A third of all FDA-approved drugs target GPCRs, yet, despite decades of research and billions of funding, only a few GPCR-targeting antibodies exist. Thanks to the support of our investors, we are one step closer to making GPCRs and other challenging targets druggable, bringing needed therapies to patients across the globe."
The financing round was led by LAUNCHub Ventures and Kadmos Capital to fund the company's shift towards the diagnostics market.
"We are thrilled to have the support of LAUNCHub Ventures and Kadmos Capital, who share our vision for a healthier future. This funding round marks a significant milestone for GlycanAge, and we are excited to continue our journey towards transforming healthcare and empowering individuals to take control of their well-being."
The financing was supported by new investors including InnoSpark alongside returning backers such as the Development Bank of Wales.
"This is the most comprehensive validation of our platform thus far. While identifying antibodies to GPCRs has traditionally been a complex and time-intensive process requiring expensive specialist technology and training, we have demonstrated that Antiverse’s drug discovery platform can achieve this in a fraction of the time and cost. GPCRs are commercially interesting targets associated with various indications, and these antibodies offer a path to first in vivo results and can potentially be our first assets. I would like to thank our investors, this funding will enable us to continue to develop these assets in-house with our academic collaborators."
