Invest
Invest to elimate cancer cell by cell and make cancer a treatable disease.
GenLumina is engaging with potential lead investors to secure a €250K first closing, unlocking a €5M budget required to complete the preclinical phase. The financing structure will be determined together with the lead investor, aligned with upcoming value inflection points and the company’s long-term financing strategy.
A phased round, with the first closing funding clear near-term milestones, including in vivo data, before completing the round. Via a foundation (STAK) that bundles investors, keeping the cap table clean and preserving decisiveness in this early phase.
