Biotech startup Mestastop secures $500,000

Biotechnology startup Mestastop Solutions has secured $500,000 (Rs 4.5 crore) in a Pre-Series A funding round. This round was spearheaded by a consortium of 92 angel investors along with Malpani Ventures. In 2021, the company secured a seed funding round of Rs 2 crore, led by IIM Ahmedabad’s CIIE with participation from IKP and angel investors.

Founded by Arnab Roy Chowdhury and Debabani Roy Chowdhury, Mestastop is creating a cancer metastasis-focused platform, that uses wet lab biology and predictive analytics to identify and distinguish unique properties of metastasis and leverage them for drug discovery and patient treatment.

The funds will be used to generate proof of concept data with small molecules around the identified first-in-class targets and also help progress drug repurposing efforts to delay metastasis by identifying probable clinical candidates. This will also aid new animal models, clinical studies, and strategic business development.
