Glycomine

Series B in 2021
Glycomine, Inc. is a biotechnology company based in San Carlos, California, focused on developing nanomedicines for rare genetic disorders, particularly those related to protein and lipid glycosylation. Founded in 2014, Glycomine aims to address the significant unmet medical needs of patients suffering from approximately 7,000 rare disorders, many of which currently lack FDA-approved treatments. The company specializes in creating orphan drugs that combine replacement therapies—such as substrates, enzymes, and proteins—with innovative intracellular delivery systems. These bio-nano materials and ligands are designed to effectively target and deliver therapeutic molecules to the relevant cells in clinically significant organs, thereby enhancing treatment efficacy for patients with debilitating conditions caused by metabolic disorders and protein misfolding.

Cyrano Therapeutics

Series A in 2020
Cyrano Therapeutics, Inc., founded in 2014 and headquartered in Washington, D.C., develops therapeutic solutions aimed at addressing taste and smell disorders. The company's primary offering is an intranasal product, CYR-001, which repurposes the approved molecule Theophylline to restore sensory function in patients experiencing chronic loss of taste and smell. In preliminary studies, the treatment demonstrated significant efficacy, with eight out of ten patients showing notable improvements within two weeks and no reported side effects. In addition to the therapy, Cyrano Therapeutics provides a diagnostic kit to assess and quantify the severity of sensory loss, which can assist healthcare providers, particularly otolaryngologists, in managing care for affected individuals, including cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy who may experience sensory changes.

OMEICOS Therapeutics

Series C in 2018
OMEICOS Therapeutics GmbH is a biotechnology company focused on developing innovative therapeutics for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular and ophthalmic diseases. Established in 2013 and headquartered in Berlin, Germany, the company is pioneering a first-in-class small molecule that leverages a unique mode of action based on natural metabolites of omega-3 fatty acids. These metabolites exhibit strong anti-arrhythmic properties by activating an endogenous cardio-protective signaling pathway, which not only stabilizes heart rhythm but also aims to provide curative effects by preventing electrical and structural remodeling of the heart. OMEICOS' approach is designed to offer safe and effective treatment options for patients with cardiovascular conditions, while also addressing inflammatory diseases and other indications.

ENB Therapeutics

Series A in 2018
ENB Therapeutics, LLC develops small molecule inhibitors to treat melanoma and other cancers. The product includes ENB-001 that restores the ability of T-cells to infiltrate tumors and inhibits metastasis. The company was incorporated in 2015 and is based in New York, New York.
