Aerska, a biotechnology company focused on RNA medicines for brain diseases, has raised €32 million in a Series A financing to advance its lead technology toward clinical development. The round was co-led by EQT Life Sciences through its LSP Dementia Fund, alongside age1, and brings the company’s total funding to €50 million since its seed round in October 2025.
The transatlantic venture firm Epidarex Capital has reached a first close of more than $145 million (approximately €121.6 million) to focus on company creation and early-stage investments across the UK and the US.
4 years after its initial series A round, Engitix has completed a $25 million series A extension, led by Netherton Investments, which invests on behalf of billionaire hedge fund founder Mike Platt. The London-based biotech is developing therapies that target the extracellular matrix (ECM) in solid tumors and fibrosis, an area less crowded than more established drug discovery approaches.
EQT Life Sciences has closed the LSP Dementia Fund at approximately €260m, 2.6-fold over the target fund size of €100m.
The fourth fund of High-Tech Gründerfonds has reached a final fund volume of €493.8m
