Humabs BioMed SA
Humabs BioMed is a profitable Swiss biotech company that is discovering and developing nature-selected human monoclonal antibodies using proprietary platforms.
Humabs is currently focusing on the development of human antibodies to fight infectious diseases. Additional indications are being targeted at the discovery research stage.
Humabs has already achieved four major licensing deals with Pharmaceutical companies generating significant revenues in the form of near term revenues, as well as a stream of longer term milestones and royalties. Two of these programs are in clinical development phases.
Humabs is seeking additional investments to allow the company to bring selected programs into clinical research on its own, thus significantly increasing the added value.

PrincipalImmunova LLC
Immunova is a startup with an IP portfolio licensed from Yale and the Johns Hopkins Universities.
Immunova's technology platform has a unique capability to deliver one or more drugs to the tumor/disease microenvironment. The drugs can be proteins, small molecules or nucleic acids. The delivery platfrom has demonstatable advantages over other delivery systems. The technology has applications in oncology and inflammation.
The company's lead asset is positioned in oncology. IMM-01, consists of two drugs that (a) undermine the tumor micorenvironment and (b) increase anti-tumor cell mediated immunity. This asset is capable of curing mice of metastatic disease. Further, it significantly enhances the activites of immune checkpoint inhibitors. It is non toxic.
The company is seeking investment and R&D partners. Immunova has defined the path to a Phase I/IIa multidose trial which could initiate within 15 months of funding. Immunova is also seeking partners who wish to validate this platform in oncology and inflammation.

Immusoft Corporation
Immusoft’s mission is to develop a breakthrough platform for delivering targeted medicines — programming a patient’s own cells to become miniature drug factories.
Our technology instructs a patient's cells to constantly secrete gene-encoded medicines (biologics). It will enable new treatments by solving current delivery limitations and production challenges. We are initially targeting orphaned diseases.
Immusoft’s platform can program cells to continually produce and secrete therapeutic proteins and rare antibodies that have been impossible to elicit with a vaccine. This approach makes possible treatments that are otherwise impractical due to short halflife, injection site reactions, production challenges or a small market size. It offers many of the benefits of traditional approaches and modern gene therapies with less risk and greater control.
Immusoft has received grants from the National Institutes of Health and Peter Thiel's Breakout Labs as well as support from private investors, including the former head of preclinical development at Seattle Genetics. We have an exclusive license option on our core technology from Caltech and have filed two additional patents covering our extensive modifications to the technology.
ISP technology could replace a lifetime of infusions with a patient’s own drug-producing cells.

CEOImpatient
Small biotechnology companies are developing half of all future medicines, some of which may not reach patients due to lack of funding from traditional investors.
Although health-related charities received more than $31B in contributions in 2013, many of the charities which support research do not work with for-profit biotech companies. They predominantly fund academic and non-profit institutions which typically conduct early research and discover around 10% of new medicines (for-profit companies discover the remaining 90%).
Impatient is a new kind of health-related charity. We will only fund medical trials with small biotech companies.
Our scientific advisors will select promising, unfunded, medical treatments. You choose which treatment to support and 100% of your donation is spent on testing.
If the treatment is successful, 100% of the future royalty that Impatient receives from the biotech company will support access to new medicines for people who cannot afford them.
