Are you a scientist with interesting data for a potential therapy or a platform to develop novel therapies? Are you an entrepreneur seeking feedback on your pitch deck ahead of fundraising? Are you somewhere in between? If you answered yes to any of these, we'd love to meet with you through our Solasta Hatchery program! The Hatchery allows you to meet (virtually or in-person) with our team of biotech investors in a casual, office-hours/AMA environment to solicit general feedback or discuss data sets and future experiments, strategy, pitch deck feedback - whatever may be helpful for your next steps.

Congrats to our portfolio company, ReCode Therapeutics, with their recent collaboration with Intellia. We're excited by the positive impact this will hopefully have in patients with Cystic Fibrosis.
We are proud to announce a collaboration with Intellia Therapeutics, Inc. to develop novel genomic medicines for the treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF). Our strategic partnership will harness the strengths of Intellia's CRISPR-based gene editing platform alongside our Selective Organ Targeting (SORT) lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery platform to target precise corrections of CFTR gene mutations directly within the lung. Our CEO, Shehnaaz Suliman, M.D. (MB ChB), M.B.A., M.Phil., shared her belief in the power of this collaboration: "This approach could result in a faster path to gene editing therapeutics for cystic fibrosis patients by combining two modalities that are being validated in the clinic and has the potential to unlock a new generation of genetic medicines." With a focus on therapeutic options for those with the greatest need and the fewest solutions, we are poised to lead the subsequent stages of preclinical and clinical development. Together, we aspire to fundamentally change the treatment landscape for individuals living with CF.

We’re very excited about our latest investment: ReCode Therapeutics. We’ve been following next-gen LNP technologies over the years and are excited by ReCode’s differentiated tissue-targeted LNP platform. They have made amazing progress with their lead programs and are led by an incredible management team. We’re thrilled to join them in their mission to deliver genetic medicines to patients.
Today, we're thrilled to announce that we have concluded an extension to our Series B financing, which raised an additional $50 million from existing and new investors, Bioluminescence Ventures and Solasta Ventures - for a total of $260 million in Series B funding. We are also delighted to announce the appointment of Kouki Harasaki, PhD., founding and managing partner of Bioluminescence Ventures, to our board of directors. Over the last several months, we have accomplished many significant milestones as we continue to build on our vision to power the next wave of genetic medicines through precision delivery. There is much more to come before we wrap up 2023, including many exciting events and milestones.
