Series B in 2022
ImmunOs Therapeutics AG is a clinical-stage biotechnology company based in Schlieren, Switzerland, founded in 2014. The company specializes in the discovery and development of novel human immunomodulatory proteins aimed at enhancing cancer treatment and addressing autoimmune diseases. By focusing on next-generation therapeutics, ImmunOs aims to create drugs that not only exhibit direct anti-tumor effects but also remodel the tumor microenvironment. Additionally, the company is developing antibodies designed to block the activation of specific HLA molecules associated with autoimmune conditions.

Memo Therapeutics

Series B in 2020
Memo Therapeutics AG, based in Basel, Switzerland, specializes in antibody discovery and immune repertoire analysis through its innovative MemoMAB platform. This technology enables the creation of a recombinant in vitro copy of an individual’s B cell and antibody repertoire, resulting in unique and extensive libraries that reflect a person's immune response. These libraries are anticipated to contain a significant number of relevant and rare antibodies, opening new avenues for immune repertoire analysis and antibody discovery. Memo Therapeutics employs its MemoMAB platform in proprietary antibody lead discovery programs and offers it for collaboration with other entities, enhancing the potential for novel therapeutic developments.

Araris

Seed Round in 2020
Araris Biotech AG is a biotechnology start-up based in Zurich, Switzerland, that specializes in developing antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) linker technology for targeted chemotherapy. Founded in 2019, the company focuses on creating a platform that facilitates the rapid production of high-quality ADCs without the need for extensive engineering of antibodies or cell lines. This approach allows for the direct use of "off-the-shelf" antibodies, enabling the site-specific modification of ADCs within days, while ensuring robust quality control and analysis. Araris' technology is designed to deliver potent drugs directly to cancer cells, minimizing exposure to healthy tissues and thereby improving safety and tolerability for patients. The company's innovative ADC technology is supported by two patents, underscoring its commitment to advancing anti-cancer treatment options.
