A private biotech startup raised $60 million to help fund the development of a new obesity medicine. Investors care because the obesity drug market is huge, and early-stage scientific breakthroughs attract significant industry attention.
What changed
Superluminal Medicines raised $60 million in Series B financing to push its lead obesity drug into clinical trials by late 2026.
