Its flagship test, miSignal, is available at more than 2,500 medical institutions and 4,500 pharmacies in Japan, and the company has performed over 110,000 tests to date. Craif analyzes microRNA signals and has published more than 90 peer-reviewed papers and conference presentations, including two independent publications on early pancreatic cancer detection. The company is advancing a software-based medical device program targeting pancreatic cancer and plans a prospective clinical study in the U.S. from its San Diego laboratory. Craif opened its San Diego lab in April 2026, established a U.S. subsidiary in 2022, and is building clinical, regulatory, and commercial capabilities to support a reimbursement-driven U.S. launch.
- Aureka Biotechnologies
Led · Series B · Aug 2026
Founded in 2023, Aureka builds large biological foundation models (AuraIDE and its open-source counterpart OpenDDE) and integrates them with Lab-in-the-Loop — a closed-loop system combining AI agents, digital biology and high-throughput experimental platforms. Its foundation models are trained on proprietary protein co-evolution data and evaluated as among the leaders in protein structure prediction and de novo molecular design. The company reports generating tens of millions in revenue over the past two years and has established strategic partnerships with multiple global pharmaceutical companies. Aureka’s platform couples model-driven molecular generation with in-house single-cell functional screening and automated wet-lab validation, feeding experimental results back into model post-training to iterate rapidly. With the Series B proceeds, Aureka plans to scale model training, upgrade its experimental feedback engine, accelerate validation and translate model capabilities into antibody drug assets.

- Tianji Intelligence
Participated · Series B · May 2026
Tianji Intelligence has built a full-stack R&D and mass production system spanning core sensors, integrated joints, controllers and a product matrix handling loads from 3kg to 20kg. It is the first embodied intelligence company to develop its own MEMS joint torque sensors and deploy them in robot joints and has engineered a "one-drive-two" coordination architecture to synchronize two 7-axis force-control arms from a single motherboard. Tianji's Marvin force-control humanoid dual-arm has demonstrated latency as low as 5ms and an average error of 1.89mm in recent tests. Its lightweight integrated joint module, the Marvin M6S Lite, achieves a 62.5% load-to-weight ratio, weighing 8kg while handling a 5kg payload and offering an 8kHz torque closed loop with four-loop control. In the first four months of 2025 the company delivered over 2,000 force-control humanoid dual arms to more than 100 clients, became the largest shipper globally by volume for such systems, and reported backlog orders exceeding 10,000 units in Q1. Its customer base includes 45 global humanoid robot OEMs and other embodied intelligence unicorns, and the company aims to use scale and the new funding to expand R&D, production and global sales.
