  • Drug Farm

    Participated · Equity · Feb 2021

    Drug Farm leverages proprietary platforms—IDInVivo+ (which integrates genetics and AI to identify and validate targets in living systems) and MedChem5 (used to advance first-in-class candidates)—to discover and progress drug candidates. The company is developing treatments across rare disease, cardiovascular, kidney, metabolic, autoimmune, and infectious disease indications. Its lead program, DF-003, is a first-in-class ALPK1 inhibitor that has shown clinical improvement in an ongoing Phase 1b study for ROSAH syndrome and is positioned to enter a Phase 3 trial; DF-003 has received multiple FDA designations including Fast Track and Orphan Drug. Another key program, DF-006, is an orally administered ALPK1 agonist immunomodulator that completed single and multiple ascending dose evaluations in healthy volunteers and in virologically suppressed HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B patients, showing encouraging anti-HBV activity. Drug Farm has entered a clinical collaboration with Xiamen Amoytop Biotech to develop DF-006 for hepatitis B and hepatocellular carcinoma. The recent $55 million Series D first closing provides capital to advance pivotal trials, global development, regulatory activities, and R&D expansion.

  • Zero Zero Robotics

    Participated · Series A · Apr 2016

    Zero Zero Robotics is a China-based company that has been working on self-flying drone technology since 2014 and employs roughly 70 people. Its first product, Hover, is a lightweight (240g) self-flying camera drone designed for easy close-up video capture without manual piloting. Hover packs a 13MP sensor capable of 4K video and uses custom electronic image stabilization instead of a mechanical gimbal. The drone includes preprogrammed features such as hover-in-place, face and body recognition follow modes, and 360-degree pano recording to simplify use for novices. The company says it will replicate Hover’s self-flying capabilities in future products and plans to ship Hover this summer. Zero Zero has raised $25M in funding to support the product launch and development, composed mainly of a $23M Series A.
