Milan (Italy) – Axxam is proud to announce that Muna Therapeutics, a biotech company founded in 2020 by Aarhus University, financed by Novo Seeds and receiving assets in exchange of equity from Axxam, was successful closing a EUR 60 million (US$ 73 million) Series A financing round today.
The investor syndicate was co-led by Novo Holdings, Sofinnova Partners, LSP Dementia Fund, and Droia Ventures, with Polaris Partners, Polaris Innovation Fund, Sanofi Ventures and V-Bio Ventures joining the round.
