Verdiva Bio raised $200M in 2025 for next-generation oral GLP-1 receptor agonists designed to match injectable semaglutide efficacy with once-daily oral dosing for obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Verdiva Bio is developing oral small molecule GLP-1 receptor agonists to compete in the massive weight loss and diabetes market dominated by injectable semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound). Current oral GLP-1 options like semaglutide tablets have low bioavailability and require fasting, while Verdiva's chemical series aims for significantly higher exposure matching injectable efficacy with a convenient once-daily pill taken without dietary restrictions.
Microbiotica raised $105M Series C in 2025 for its gut microbiome platform linking bacterial strains to disease, enabling live biotherapeutic products for cancer immunotherapy and IBD.
Microbiotica applies genomics and machine learning to map the gut microbiome's causal role in disease, then develops live biotherapeutic products (LBPs) targeting the specific bacterial strains responsible. The company's Reference Microbiome database — built from thousands of patient samples — is the world's most comprehensive catalog of gut bacteria linked to disease outcomes, providing a systematic foundation for microbiome drug discovery.
