Fate Therapeutics is using the fundamental biological mechanisms that guide cell fate to develop stem cell therapeutics.
The company has brought together the foremost scientists from the nation's research hotbeds (Boston, San Francisco, San Diego, and Seattle) who have demonstrated the potential to create and modulate stem cells to restore health.
The backstory is that while others were working towards therapies based on transplanting stem cell-derived cells into patients, Randall Moon (HHMI and the University of Washington) and Alex Rives (Arch Venture Capitol) envisioned a different approach to develop regenerative therapies. The concept, based on data from hematopoietic progenitor cells, was that one could modulate the properties of stem cells in vivo using small molecules or biologics. They presented this idea to Arch Venture Capitol in Seattle, which launched the company, soon to be joined by other investors.

Arsia Therapeutics
Seed Round in 2015
Arsia Therapeutics’ mission is to improve access to these life-saving drugs, make them more patient-friendly, and reduce healthcare costs by enabling subcutaneous delivery in non-hospital settings.
Biopharmaceuticals are much larger and more fragile than traditional small-molecule drugs. Due to their size, large doses of biologics are often required; and because of their fragility, these drugs must be administered by injection instead of orally.
Biologics become unstable and extremely viscous at the high concentrations required for traditional low-volume injections. Consequently, they are frequently administered as high-volume, slow intravenous infusions in a hospital setting.
From a patient perspective, receiving treatment via subcutaneous administration can be preferable to intravenous infusion. Subcutaneous administration removes the need for invasive IV ports. Administration at home eliminates time-intensive and expensive hospital visits.
Achieving high doses of biologics in a volume suitable for subcutaneous administration presents significant formulation challenges. The major limiting factor is viscosity, which arises when biomolecules are formulated at high concentration.
Arsia’s mission is to produce high-concentration biopharmaceutical products with low viscosity, suitable for small-volume subcutaneous injection. Our proprietary platform technology reduces the viscosity of biologics through the addition of inactive ingredients (excipients). Because Arsia’s technology works at the formulation stage, the molecular structure of the drug itself is not affected.
Arsia’s technology provides i) a formulation solution for new products in development that have viscosity challenges, ii) a life-cycle management strategy for existing products and iii) a way to differentiate those products from others on the market. For more information on partnering with Arsia, please contact us.

AHN brings world-class technical expertise combined with developing world practical operating experience to a region in dire need of quality dialysis treatment. Dialysis is a life-saving treatment for patients with Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) and End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). The few hospitals that provide treatment operate centers that are slowly deteriorating while charging prohibitive prices. Additionally, the lack of trained professionals and limited capital investment in care for non-communicable diseases in Sub-Saharan Africa, dialysis centers are few and far between, causing patients to endure the high costs for travel to receive care. Those who cannot afford the costs of treatment and travel are resigned to death. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and AKI are on the rise in the region due to strong epidemiologic factors, including increased urbanization leading to lifestyle diseases, other non-communicable diseases, HIV and other infections and toxins. Utilizing our network of executives/partners, we will secure high-quality equipment and train professionals to provide superior care. Our ability to source lowest cost consumables, operational efficiency and scale, will allow us to lower the cost to patients. The net result is increased access, higher quality and lower cost to patients, while maintaining profitability.
AHN operates in Rwanda, Tanzania and Kenya.
