August 30, 2021 - Fierce Biotech
Laronde launched out of Flagship Labs this year with a lofty vision: to deliver as many as 100 new RNA medicines over the next 10 years. Now, it’s fueling that goal with a major $440 million round. “The amount of money raised reflects our ambitions. We wanted to build a big company—and we need big money to build a big company,” said Diego Miralles, M.D., CEO of Laronde and a CEO-partner at Flagship Pioneering. The company spent years under the radar at Flagship’s incubator and uncloaked in May with $50 million.

With regular venture funding rounds and a handful of new strategic partnerships and technology launches in recent years, expanding the reach of its telegenomics service platform has become a core piece of Genome Medical’s DNA. Now, Genome Medical is taking a two-pronged approach: Alongside raking in $60 million in new financing, it also made a bid for GeneMatters, a Minneapolis-based provider of virtual genetic counseling services. The series C funding round was led by Casdin Capital. More than a dozen other new and existing investors also joined in, including Alphabet’s GV, Amgen Ventures, Illumina Ventures, Kaiser Permanente Ventures and more.

After months of rumors and reports, Baxter has finally landed on a price to acquire fellow medtech company Hill-Rom—and it's nearly a billion dollars above where talks started earlier this summer. Weighing in at about $10.5 billion in equity value—or about $12.4 billion all told, when including Baxter’s assumption of Hill-Rom’s debts and cash on hand—the deal amount has swelled since news in late July that Hill-Rom had rebuffed an offer totaling about $9.6 billion.
