🧬 New Biotech Venture Fund launches Amid NIH Funding uncertainty

The biotech industry is facing uncertainty as the Trump administration pushes for limits on NIH funding for research institutions. While a federal judge has temporarily blocked the move, early-stage biotech startups relying on SBIR grants could still face funding delays or cuts.

🌼 Enter Altitude Lab Pre-seed Venture Fund – a new initiative by Recursion CEO Chris Gibson and biotech entrepreneur David Bearss. This fund will invest $100K–$250K in 10–15 biotech startups, offering early support in a critical time.

🔬Why It Matters:

✅ NIH grants have been a key funding source for biotech startups
✅ Recursion itself got a $1.46M SBIR grant in 2014, fueling its AI-driven drug discovery platform
✅ The fund provides startups with 12 months of office & lab space at Salt Lake City’s Altitude Lab

💡Gibson's Vision: Build a mini-Cambridge in Salt Lake City & help promising biotechs survive funding gaps.

With biotech innovation at stake, this fund could be a lifeline for groundbreaking startups.

What do you think? Will private capital step in as government funding wavers?

Capim Raises $26.7M Series A to Revolutionize Dental Care in Brazil 🦷

Brazilian SaaS startup Capim has secured an impressive $26.7 million Series A to expand its “buy now, pay later” (BNPL) solution for dental services. The funding round was co-led by Valor Capital and QED Investors, with participation from investors like ONEVC, Canary, NXTP, and others.

What is Capim⬇️

Founded in 2021 by Marcelo Lutz and Roberto Biselli, Capim is a vertical SaaS platform designed to help dentists digitize their clinics, manage operations, and increase revenue. One of its standout features is a BNPL option that allows patients to spread dental payments over up to 36 installments - a more flexible and affordable alternative to traditional credit cards.

Why is this a game-changer❔

✅ Easier access to dental care for more than 60,000 patients so far
✅ Lower interest rates**—50% less than traditional banks
✅ 4,000+ new clinics added in 2024, now serving 6,000 clinics and aiming for 10,000 by year’s end
✅ Hybrid revenue model – SaaS subscriptions + financial services
✅ Break-even achieved in 2023

📢 What’s next?

With fresh capital, Capim plans to:

1️⃣Launch a POS (point-of-sale) terminal with lower transaction fees for clinics
2️⃣Expand its AI-powered tools to boost efficiency
3️⃣Scale its go-to-market strategy to onboard more clinics and patients

As healthtech and fintech converge, Capim is proving that access to essential medical services shouldn’t be a financial burden. Will this BNPL model redefine healthcare payments in Brazil?🇧🇷
