Cognito Therapeutics
|
Cognito Therapeutics develops neurotechnology therapies designed to treat neurodegenerative diseases by stimulating specific brain activity patterns. The company focuses on noninvasive therapeutic systems that use synchronized visual and auditory stimulation to influence neural activity associated with cognitive function and brain health. Itstechnology platform, Spectris, is designed to evoke gamma-frequency brain waves, which play a role in learning, memory, and communication between neurons. The platform delivers controlled light and sound signals through a wearable device to trigger gamma oscillations in the brain, a pattern of neural activity that is disrupted in conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease. By restoring this activity, the therapy aims to support processes related to synaptic function, myelin integrity, and neural connectivity.Cognito Therapeutics conducts clinical research and trials to evaluate how its neuromodulation technology affects cognitive performance, brain structure, and functional abilities in patients with neurodegenerative disorders. The company studies the biological effects of sensory stimulation on brain pathways, immune responses, and neural signaling networks associated with disease progression. Through its research programs and device development, Cognito Therapeutics produces medical technologies intended for clinical treatment and investigation of neurological conditions that affect memory, cognition, and daily functioning. | $105M / Series C / Mar 05, 2026 | |

LIfT BioSciences
|
LIfT Biosciences is a biotech company that develops allogeneic cell therapies using Immunomodulatory Alpha Neutrophils (IMANs) derived from hematopoietic or induced pluripotent stem cells. The company leverages its patented N‑LIfT platform to generate neutrophils capable of directly destroying cancer cells and reprogramming the tumormicroenvironment to enhance immune recruitment. Preclinical data have shown potent activity across multiple solid tumor types, with Phase I clinical trials in metastatic cervical and head‑and‑neck cancer planned in partnership with the University of Galway. | $13.4M / Series A / Sep 24, 2024 | |
Orchid
|
Orchid is a reproductive technology startup that is capable of detecting rare genetic disorders. Orchid’s preconception system analyzes both partners’ genomes and assesses genetic predispositions to common diseases, including heart disease, stroke, schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease, breast cancer, and diabetes. Orchid results are developed withworld-class experts in reproductive medicine and genetics to give its clients the most accurate results.Orchid offers a “Couple Report” that utilizes an at-home saliva test to analyze each person’s genomes to detect the probability of genetic risks, then models how their DNA together will combine in a future child. If elevated risk is detected, Orchid provides insights to help couples monitor biomarkers, adapt their diet or elect for procedures, such as in vitro fertilization. It was founded by Noor Siddiqui in 2019 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California. | $12M / Seed / Dec 05, 2023 | |
