Inbrain Neuroelectronics

Series A in 2021
Inbrain Neuroelectronics is a medical device company that designs and commercializes graphene-based neural interfaces and intelligent neuromodulation systems to treat brain disorders. The core platform is an implantable system that decodes brain activity with high resolution and provides focal, adaptive stimulation, enabling real-time precision neurology and autonomous therapy adjustments. This approach aims to maximize therapeutic outcomes while minimizing side effects for conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, and stroke rehabilitation. The company pursues strategic collaborations to extend its solutions to peripheral nerve and systemic disease applications, expanding the potential of neurotechnology and bioelectronics.

Inbiomotion

Venture Round in 2021
Inbiomotion is a biotechnology company founded in 2010 by Dr. Roger Gomis, originating as a spin-off from IRB Barcelona and ICREA research institutions. The company specializes in developing and commercializing a biomarker that predicts metastasis in early-stage breast cancer patients. Its unique diagnostic assay leverages a highly selective single-gene biomarker, which has been shown to identify patients who may benefit from bisphosphonate adjuvant treatment, subsequently improving their overall survival and invasive disease-free survival rates. By utilizing this biomarker, Inbiomotion aims to evaluate the risk of metastases relapse from primary tumors, thereby facilitating a more personalized approach to treatment and advancing the clinical standard of care for breast cancer patients.

Ona Therapeutics

Series A in 2020
Ona Therapeutics, S.L. is a biotechnology company founded in 2019 and based in Barcelona, Spain. It specializes in the discovery and development of therapeutic biologics that specifically target tumor metastatic-initiating cells and lipid metabolism. As a spin-off from ICREA and the IRB Institute for Research in Biomedicine, the company focuses on blocking the pathways involved in fat metabolism in animal models of cancer. Its innovative therapies aim to inhibit the cells responsible for metastasis, thereby preventing the development of malignant tumors and potentially eradicating existing ones. Ona Therapeutics is positioned to offer treatment solutions for various metastatic cancers, including those affecting the oral cavity, breast, ovaries, stomach, bladder, prostate, and melanoma.
