Tissium develops fully biosynthetic programmable polymers designed for atraumatic tissue repair and reconstruction. The company's portfolio includes one commercial product and six products in development in three areas: sutureless nerve repair, hernia repair, and cardiovascular sealants. The company's flagship product, COAPTIUM CONNECT, is designed for sutureless peripheral nerve repair. It is indicated for sutureless repair of unconnected peripheral nerve injuries where a gap of 1 centimeter or less exists or can be closed by flexing the limb. It allows surgeons to reconnect severed nerve ends without placing tiny sutures through the nerve.

Ollin develops drugs for the treatment of patients with severe vision diseases, particularly diabetic macular edema. Its lead candidate, OLN324, for wet age-related macular degeneration (WAM), has demonstrated superior results compared to leading approved drugs. Another candidate, OLN102, is a potential first-in-class drug for the treatment of thyroid eye disease. OLN102 is designed to target both the IGF-1R and the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR).

Nimbus Therapeutics develops highly selective and potent small molecule drugs aimed at suppressing known factors that cause serious diseases, including metabolic diseases, cancer, and immune-inflammatory disorders (psoriasis, arthritis). The company's drug discovery platform utilizes advanced protein structure analysis, molecular modeling, machine learning-based prediction, and comprehensive data analysis within a target-oriented approach. The atomic-level data obtained using these tools enables the creation of highly accurate molecules that determine optimal pharmacological profiles for the treatment of disease pathology.

Folicle is a hair-growth tracking app that aligns every scalp photo to the previous frame for consistent angle and lighting, so progress is actually comparable over time. Log treatments (minoxidil, finasteride, and more), watch your Hair Score, and export dermatologist-ready PDF timelines for your next appointment. Non-diagnostic — it documents progress, it does not diagnose or prescribe. iOS + Android; join the waitlist at folicle.app.

VeraDermics is a dermatology company that creates novel drug delivery mechanisms for a pain-free cure for skin conditions. Its flagship product, VDPHL01, is the first non-hormonal, oral, extended-release treatment for hair regrowth in women and men. It is an immediate-release oral minoxidil that has demonstrated efficacy in clinical trials. It reaches peak concentrations within one hour and is almost completely eliminated from the body within four hours, limiting the time available for hair growth stimulation and has been associated with cardiotoxicity.

Gero is developing an AI-driven drug discovery platform focused on slowing aging and treating chronic diseases. It creates AI models of aging based on large-scale, real-life longitudinal data, integrating clinical, molecular, omics, and genetic signals with physically based modeling, and identifies targets directly in human health data. These targets are then tested in known disease models. Company's programs considered for preclinical development include oncology and fibrosis.
