Mission BioCapital

Vaxess Technologies is a biotechnology company focused on silk biomaterial platforms for vaccine and therapeutic delivery. It develops the MIMIX microneedle patch for transdermal, sustained-release delivery of vaccines and therapies, designed to improve stability and ease of use, including formulations that do not require cold chain storage. The MATRIX formulation and drying platform supports thermostable vaccine, therapeutic, and diagnostic products. The company aims to enable long-term immune responses and easier distribution, including in low-resource settings. Its technology supports oncology and infectious disease applications, including therapies that promote durable anti-tumor immunity and improved treatment outcomes. Founded in 2011 and based in Boston, the company positions its platforms to enable stable, targeted delivery and potentially reduce treatment burden for patients.

GraphWear Technologies Inc. is a company based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, specializing in advanced nanotechnology sensing platforms that enable non-invasive monitoring of vital body metrics. Founded in 2015, GraphWear develops patch sensors that measure lactic acid and glucose levels in sweat, providing solutions for dehydration monitoring, glucose detection, and assessing muscle endurance and recovery. The company primarily serves professional sports teams, college athletics, and amateur athletes, aiming to enhance performance and prevent dehydration. In addition to its athletic applications, GraphWear is conducting clinical trials for a glucose monitoring device designed to support diabetes management, with potential expansions into monitoring conditions such as heart disease and cancer. By offering a no-needle, no-blood approach to health monitoring, GraphWear seeks to empower users with timely and accurate health information, facilitating better diagnosis and care.

Glycomine, Inc. is a biotech 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, the company addresses the significant unmet medical needs of patients suffering from rare diseases, of which approximately 7,000 exist globally, with a majority lacking FDA-approved treatments. Glycomine specializes in creating replacement therapies that combine substrates, enzymes, and proteins with advanced bio-nano materials. These therapeutics are designed to facilitate the targeted delivery of treatment to clinically relevant organs, thereby enhancing the efficacy of care for conditions characterized by metabolic disorders and protein misfolding.
