$8 Million Series A Investment in Kayothera
We are extremely excited to announce the $8,000,000 Series A investment led by Accelerator Life Science Partners (ALSP) in KayoThera,Inc., a FVCG portfolio company. KayoThera, a company developing cancer immunotherapies and a Princeton University spinout, is working to give hope to some of the most vulnerable cancer patients. FVCG provided the initial seed funding to the company in 2019 to advance its therapies to treat late-stage and metastatic cancers, including breast, pancreatic, colorectal, brain and kidney.
We wish Dr. Mark Esposito and Dr. Yibin Kang continued success as they advance their technology toward a product that will significantly impact the global health of patients with late-stage cancer.
