Mirvie, Pioneer in Predicting Unexpected Pregnancy Complications, Raises $60M
Unexpected complications affect one in five pregnancies, yet women, expecting parents and doctors lack a reliable way to detect complications before symptoms appear. Mirvie’s new funding will support the continued clinical and commercial development of their proprietary RNA platform, which is the first to predict preeclampsia and preterm birth months before they happen.
Endpoint Health Raises $52M to Expand and Advance Precision Immunology Pipeline
Precision Immunology Platform Endpoint Health is dedicated to addressing unmet needs in immune-mediated acute and chronic diseases. This new funding will be used to expand its therapeutic pipeline to include programs for chronic immune-mediated diseases as well as to advance their precision sepsis therapy to a Phase II clinical trial.
Chemix Announces its AI-Powered Battery Platform to Accelerate the Transition to Sustainable Energy
The movement toward electric transportation and renewable energy is rapidly going mainstream and will hugely impact our planetary health. However, the lithium-ion battery market is heavily supply constrained as new chemistries and better testing processes are required to improve performance and unlock the supply of batteries. We’re thrilled to partner with the Chemix team as they work to save our planet, one sustainable battery at a time

VR Meditation Company TRIPP Raises $11M to Build the Mindful Metaverse
