Private Company Edition: After just seven venture capital rounds of $100m or more in January and February, five have been announced already in March, including a $200m series A round for Cargo Therapeutics, Chroma Medicine’s $135m series B financing and $112m for Noema’s series B.

Insulet will acquire insulin pump patents from Bigfoot Biomedical for $25m, which Bigfoot will use to expand its Unity diabetes management system. Insulet also announced the acquisition of automated insulin delivery assets held by Automated Glucose Control.

Bigfoot Biomedical’s Unity system pairs continuous glucose monitoring with smart insulin pen caps, giving patients recommendations on insulin dosing. Because patient interaction is involved, Bigfoot Biomedical can deliver insulin pump-like results to pump-ineligible type II diabetics.

During Q2, biopharmas brought in an aggregate $12.5bn in financing and device company fundraising totaled $3.7bn; while in vitro diagnostic firms and research tools players raised $720m.
