The firm Cabinet Carrel (Alexandra Carrel, partner, and Françoise Escoffier, of counsel) and BG2V (Stanislas Richoillez, partner, and Mathilde Périer, associate) assisted Anagenesis Biotechnologies in raising capital for the second time since its creation in 2011.
Boehringer Ingelheim Venture Fund (BIVF) and Cap Innov’Est (CIE), a French inter-regional seed fund, which already holds capital in Anagenesis, invested 3 million euros in the capital.
Anagenesis Biotechnologies (Anagenesis) is a biotech company developing therapies for treating genetic muscle degenerative diseases related to aging.
The capital raised will be invested in the pre-clinical work necessary for developing a medication for fighting against Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The capital raised will allow the company to enter a new value-creation phase by identifying the main reasons for the disease.
Anagenesis, which has already received two private investments, from both the AFM (French Muscular Dystrophy Association) to develop applications in the therapeutic skeletal muscle field, and from Cap Innov’Est, aims to become the worldwide leader in the treatment of muscular diseases.
Cabinet Carrel advised Anagenesis on all of the IP and contractual aspects necessary for carrying out the transaction, confirming its expertise in the development of innovative companies.
BG2V assisted Anagenesis with all of the corporate aspects related to the raising the capital, confirming the firm’s expertise in capital development and in assisting biotechnology companies.
