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.

Avaneer Health creates health insurance platform that provides accurate coverage information by directly connecting payers and providers to accurately update coverage data before services are rendered and reimbursement claims are submitted. When updated or new coverage data is available, the solution automatically identifies missing, inconsistent, or incorrect coverage information. If needed, the information is instantly available in the electronic health record. The system uses blockchain and FHIR technologies to ensure secure data exchange between healthcare organizations.

City Therapeutics is focused on developing next-generation small interfering RNAs. Its lead candidate, CITY-FXI, is a potential best-in-class RNA interference-based therapeutic that targets a clotting factor. It can help prevent blood clots and serious conditions such as stroke, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and myocardial infarction. By targeting a key protein called factor XI, CITY-FXI aims to protect patients from thrombosis while reducing the risk of bleeding. Another candidate, CITY-RBP4, is a promising RNA interference-based therapeutic for preventing vision loss in Stargardt disease.
