Wilson Sonsini Advises Iambic Therapeutics on $50 Million Series B Extension, Bringing Total Series B Funding to Over $150 Million

On June 18, 2024, Iambic Therapeutics (Iambic), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel therapeutics from its unique generative AI discovery platform, announced the closing of an oversubscribed $50 million extension, bringing the total Series B funding to over $150 million. The Series B extension was led by new investors Mubadala Capital and Exor Ventures, and existing investors Abingworth, Illumina Ventures, Nexus Venture Partners, Coatue, and Tao Capital Partners. Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati advised Iambic on the transaction.

Proceeds from the latest financing will be used to further Iambic’s pipeline of clinical and pre-clinical programs. Iambic's AI-driven technology has developed two promising drug candidates, IAM1363—a selective inhibitor targeting wild-type and oncogenic HER2 mutants—and a potential first-in-class selective dual CDK2/4 inhibitor designed to combat treatment resistance in solid tumors, both currently under study.
