We’re in an incredibly challenging time for biotech fundraising. Endpoints reported on July 3 that megarounds ($100M+) were down 38% in 1H25 vs. the year prior, and that Q2’25 was tracking to be the slowest quarter for private biotech fundraising in over seven years. This also.

@JohnCendpts @endpts @ky_lahucik Megarounds are never the goal. Only a reflection of how to get long money in deals (they dont write small checks).
