VC Playbook: Bradley Hardiman, senior director of business development at Astellas Venture Management, discusses setting a CVC strategy when the biopharma market is in a “state of flux.”  

Private Company Edition: Iambic, formerly known as Entos, closed a $100m series B venture capital round to advance its AI-discovered therapeutics. Also, Evozyne raised $81m and Acesion brought in €45m in series B rounds, while Mogrify added $10m to bring its series A to $46m.

Private Company Edition: Dyno’s first VC round will enable more deals for its novel AAV platform; Eikon pioneers new drug discovery technology. Also, Treeline’s early funding revealed at $211.7m; Capsida raised $140m from a VC round, AbbVie deal; and Affinia closed a $110m series B round. 

Money in the bank, biotech legacies onboard, a fresh partnership, an emerging internal cell therapy pipeline and a grand vision for the broad-scale application of its technology – has Mogrify got it all? The biotech’s chief business officer, Karin Schmitt, talks to In Vivo about the group’s near- and long-term goals.
