Finance Watch: Relay Raises $400m – And It's Only The Third-Largest Biopharma VC Round Of 2018
The company isn't relaying any details about its drug targets, but will use the mega-round to take its first candidates into the clinic. Also, RiverVest raises a $184.4m VC fund, Annexon closes a $75m Series C, Takeda lists its stock in the US, and Aptorum goes public.
Relay Therapeutics has raised $520m in venture capital since 2016, including a $400m Series C round announced on Dec. 20, without relaying a lot of information publicly about how it will translate its platform for interrogating proteins in motion into cancer drug candidates.
