Investors Weatherden and venture capital partners spun Teijin’s internal program into a new company, Elevara, in a financing move covered by BioCentury. The transaction includes seed financing and highlights a broader pattern of corporates and VCs partnering to extract and accelerate platform assets into standalone startups. The report also listed multiple venture financings and public equity deals across oncology and platform biotech, signaling continued deal activity at industry conferences like ESMO.
