NanoCellect`s mission is to facilitate biomedical breakthroughs by making cell analysis and sorting technology more affordable and easier to use. Our microfluidic flow cytometry platforms enable biomedical scientists to analyze and sort cells required for drug discovery, diagnostics, and basic research. The company was founded in late 2009 as a spinout from UCSD and dedicated 6 years developing the foundation of the WOLF`s technology before launching the WOLF (our first product) in 2016. Initial funding of R&D was graciously funded by multiple NIH SBIR grants and contracts and recently backed by FusionX Ventures and other private investors.
BioStar Ventures continues to build a solid track record as an early-stage, value-added venture investor in disruptive cardiovascular and orthopaedic medical technologies by combining the insight of seasoned venture capitalists with the expertise of world-renowned medical thought leaders in clinical practice to attract unique deal flow, mitigate investment risk, optimize product development, and secure successful exit.
SignalChem Lifesciences Corporation is a privately owned biopharmaceutical company specializing in the discovery and development of kinase inhibitors as innovative therapies for cancer, inflammation and neurological diseases. The Company has a robust kinase platform encompassing 450 kinase targets and assays for the development and commercialization of unique therapies in many diseases. This vast resource empowers SLC’s scientists to identify novel drug candidates against kinase targets of interest. Another key part of SLC’s kinase drug development platform is KineCore, a kinase focused small molecule library that was designed and assembled in-house.
Frontier BioSciences is a Germantown, MD-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Gevo has a mission to transform renewable energy into low carbon transportation fuels. This next generation of renewable premium gasoline, jet fuel and diesel fuel with the potential to achieve zero carbon emissions, addressing the market need of reducing greenhouse gas emissions with sustainable alternatives. Gevo uses low-carbon renewable resource-based carbohydrates as raw materials and is in an advanced state of developing renewable electricity and renewable natural gas for use in production processes, resulting in low-carbon fuels with substantially reduced carbon intensity (the level of greenhouse gas emissions compared to standard petroleum fossil-based fuels across their lifecycle). Gevo`s products perform as well or better than traditional fossil-based fuels in infrastructure and engines, but with substantially reduced greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to addressing the problems of fuels, Gevo`s technology also enables certain plastics, such as polyester, to be made with more sustainable ingredients. Gevo`s ability to penetrate the growing low-carbon fuels market depends on the price of oil and the value of abating carbon emissions that would otherwise increase greenhouse gas emissions. Gevo believes that its proven, patented, technology enabling the use of a variety of low-carbon sustainable feedstocks to produce price-competitive low carbon products such as gasoline components, jet fuel, and diesel fuel yields the potential to generate project and corporate returns that justify the build-out of a multi-billion-dollar business.
