EOS-X SPACE WILL BEGIN OPERATING ITS SPACE FLIGHTS IN SPAIN AND ABU DHABI IN 2025 WITH A TOTAL INVESTMENT OF MORE THAN 230 MILLION DOLLARS

MADRID, June 20, 2024 — EOS-X SPACE, the first European space exploration company, of Spanish origin, faces the last half of 2024 in a decisive way to complete its start-up and mark a historic milestone for Spain in this incipient industry, which currently represents a market of more than 9 billion dollars in revenues. Kemel Kharbachi´s company, founder and CEO, is finalizing the development of the Spaceship capsules, the necessary validation tests -which will take place soon- together with military pilots, and the the collaboration of the National Institute for Aerospace Technology (INTA). The aim is to start operating flights both in Seville, the company’s headquarters in Spain, and in Abu Dhabi, around the third quarter of 2025. In total, the company will have invested more than 230 million dollars in engineering and development in both countries.

The company is currently in the midst of a €115 million Series D investment round led by US investment bank FTI Capital Advisor.

A SUSTAINABLE AND SAFE CAPSULE FOR EXPERIENTIAL TRAVEL

This project, a pioneer in both Spain and Europe, started in 2020 and has important differences with respect to other space tourism companies. EOS-X SPACE’s pressurized capsules, with a capacity of eight people (including a pilot), are propelled by a non-polluting helium balloon. They reach the limits of the stratosphere, which means an altitude of 40,000 meters, allowing their space tourists to enjoy superb views for five hours. The price per passenger will range between 150,000 and 200,000 euros. In addition, in the case of Spain, EOS-X SPACE will have a spectacular SpaceHub Complex in La Isla de la Cartuja (Seville), where immersive experiences will be developed, as well as an ultra-luxury hotel in the province of Seville where customers will enjoy pioneering treatments and experiences.

A PROFITABILITY OF 220 % IN FIVE YEARS

Thanks to the potential of this new way of doing tourism – with a current market of US$9 billion – the company has solid scalability forecasts and expects revenue growth of 220% in five years.

iOnctura announces EUR80 million Series B financing to progress pipeline through Phase II trials

  • Led by new investor Syncona, with participation from the European Innovation Council Fund as well as existing investors
  • To progress pipeline of innovative, first-in-class, oral cancer treatments targeting neglected and hard-to-treat cancers
  • To accelerate development of lead asset roginolisib for treatment of uveal melanoma and a number of other oncology indications

GENEVA and AMSTERDAM, June 20, 2024 — iOnctura, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company combating neglected and hard-to-treat cancers, today announces that it has closed an EUR80 million Series B financing. The funding round was led by new investor Syncona Limited with participation by the EIC Fund, the venture arm of the European Innovation Council (EIC), as well as existing investors M Ventures, Inkef Capital, VI Partners, Schroders Capital and 3B Future Health Fund.

iOnctura is developing a portfolio of precision oral small molecules that target cancers in novel ways. The bold new treatments extend lives and improve healthspans, changing the outlook for patients and their families. The Company has progressed two therapeutic candidates into mid-stage clinical development.

Lead asset roginolisib is the first allosteric modulator of PI3Kδ, with a unique chemical structure and binding mode. It is being developed for indications burdened by immune mediated resistance and a high expression of PI3Kδ in cancer cells and tumor-infiltrating immune cells. Roginolisib has potential to become the first successful, clinically meaningful therapy to target the critical PI3Kδ cancer pathway. It has demonstrated an unprecedented and first-in-class clinical profile in solid and hematological malignancies, with over 48 patients treated to date. 

The financing will be used to accelerate development of roginolisib for the treatment of uveal melanoma (UM), a rare cancer of the eye with few available treatments. Eye melanoma is a rapidly growing market which is projected to be worth USD 9.56B by 2032[1] . In a Phase Ib clinical trial, roginolisib demonstrated long-term safety and promising efficacy in UM with sustained clinical activity over many months. Full results will be announced in the coming months. 

The successful UM data reported so far, combined with a rich preclinical data package, supports the rationale to expand into other indications. iOnctura plans to commence trials in other cancer indications, including non-small cell lung cancer and primary myelofibrosis, later in 2024.

iOnctura’s second clinical asset, cambritaxestat, is the only autotaxin inhibitor in clinical development to treat cancer. It has excellent potency and specificity, and is being developed for highly fibrotic tumors that overexpress autotaxin. A Phase Ib study of cambritaxestat in combination with chemotherapy in metastatic pancreatic cancer is ongoing.

Catherine Pickering, Chief Executive Officer, iOnctura, said: “This financing is validation of iOnctura’s approach to developing precision cancer treatments with maximum clinical impact. These therapies have the potential to significantly prolong the healthspan of patients suffering with neglected cancer types, such as uveal melanoma. We are pleased to welcome our new investors Syncona and the EIC Fund alongside our existing strong syndicate. Their experience will be invaluable as we look to advance our pipeline and take iOnctura to its next stage of growth.”

Roel Bulthuis, Managing Partner and Head of Investments at Syncona and Board member of iOnctura, added: “iOnctura represents a compelling opportunity to invest in line with our strategy and capital allocation focus in a clinical-stage company, and take a promising lead programme through to late-stage development. To date, no company has been able to successfully target this well-known cancer pathway with sufficient precision. By allosterically modulating PI3Kδ, iOnctura has achieved a new level of precision and could be the first company to develop a clinically meaningful medicine targeting this pathway. Its programmes have potential utility across a range of cancers, which we are supporting the company to unlock through a refined clinical strategy.”

About iOnctura

iOnctura is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company combating neglected and hard-to-treat cancers with precision oral small molecules that target cancers in novel ways. The bold new treatments extend lives and improve healthspans, changing the outlook for patients and their families. Two therapeutic candidates have progressed into mid-stage clinical development: roginolisib is the first allosteric modulator of PI3Kδ and cambritaxestat is the only autotaxin inhibitor in clinical development to treat cancer. iOnctura BV is headquartered in Amsterdam, The Netherlands with its wholly owned Swiss subsidiary, iOnctura SA, located in Geneva, Switzerland. iOnctura is backed by specialist institutional investors including Syncona, EIC Fund, M Ventures, Inkef Capital, VI Partners and Schroders Capital.

About roginolisib

Roginolisib is the first allosteric modulator of PI3Kδ with a unique chemical structure and binding mode. The PI3K signalling pathway is one of the most commonly dysregulated pathways in cancer and the precise targeting of the PI3Kδ isoform delivers substantial anti-tumor effects with a low-toxicity profile. Clinical data have demonstrated roginolisib’s excellent safety profile and sustained clinical activity in uveal melanoma (UM), a rare eye cancer with few available treatments. Randomized Phase II trials are planned to start in late 2024 in UM and other cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer and primary myelofibrosis.

About cambritaxestat

Cambritaxestat is a first-in-class autotaxin inhibitor that has shown preclinically to inhibit the growth and proliferation of cancer cells, stimulate immune cell infiltration and inhibit the development of fibrosis. It offers a new therapeutic approach for treating highly fibrotic hard-to-treat tumors such as pancreatic cancer. A Phase Ib study of cambritaxestat in combination with chemotherapy in metastatic pancreatic cancer is ongoing.

CREATOR-FOCUSED GAMING PLATFORM MEGAMOD RAISES $1.9 MILLION TO DISRUPT THE UGC GAMING EXPERIENCE

RALEIGH, N.C., June 19, 2024 — Megamod, a massive multiplayer gaming platform, has raised $1.9 million at a post-money valuation of $27 million. The funds will be used to support the company’s go-to-market strategy, including testing a retention and monetization model.

The round was led by investors and funds with deep backgrounds in business and entrepreneurship including Xsolla’s founder Alexander Agapitov and his family fund Hand of Midas, as well as Rubylight Fund and other private investors. 

Megamod is a UGC platform designed for creators with limited development expertise and players seeking massive multiplayer experiences.

Launched in early 2023 to make game design tools easier to use, Megamod has proven its ability to create games 200-300 times more cost-effectively and faster than any traditional development company. The cost of creating a unit of content on the platform is approximately $5. For the last 6 months Megamod has networked over 2,000 creators who have created over 60,000 games.

In a world where games are becoming plentiful, the main challenge for publishers is to keep players engaged by providing them with engaging and accessible content. Megamod is demonstrating its ability to meet this challenge, as evidenced by its listing on popular gaming portals like Y8 and CrazyGames. In just two weeks on CrazyGames, Megamod’s games have been rated 8.8 based on over 21,000 reviews and have been enjoyed by over 340,000 players.

The availability of the games is also ensured by our Megamod app (MegaBit) which focuses on retention and social interaction. Megamod’s multiplayer capabilities allow thousands of players to interact spend time together. The platform provides robust web and mobile crossplay, which has already resonated with hundreds of streamers who have been raffling off prizes and playing game shorts, (games excerpts with a 30-second time limit), alongside their audiences.

Megamod is the only UGC platform with game creators at its heart. Frequently in the game industry, the role of the creator is forgotten. Games are often seen as a product of a company rather than a reflection of the creator’s vision. Megamod aims to change this by showcasing the creators of each single game and demonstrating that, in the age of AI and simplified tools, releasing the final product is a matter of hours, not months or years.

ZA Tech Rebrands as Peak3, Raises US$35M Series A led by EQT

SINGAPORE, June 19, 2024ZA Tech, the next-generation insurance core system SaaS provider, has rebranded as Peak3. With the successful completion of its US$35 million Series A fundraising from EQT (lead investor) and Alpha JWC Ventures, Peak3 now accelerates its expansion in the EMEA region and investments in complementary data and AI solutions.

In a market dominated by fragmented legacy technology, Peak3 has pioneered a cloud-native, modular insurance core and distribution system that combines comprehensive capabilities for life, health, and property and casualty (P&C) insurance. Since its founding in 2018, Peak3 has become a trusted technology partner to global insurers such as AIA, Generali, Prudential, and Zurich for their digital and traditional business. It has also partnered with leading digital platforms such as Carro, Grab, Klook, and PayPay to build and scale their embedded insurance businesses.

Besides the successful fundraising, Peak3 has recently achieved key milestones underpinning the rebranding. These transformative achievements include launching its first multi-country, multi-tenant core modernisation in Europe, rolling out an integrated customer data and big data platform for scaling analytics and AI capabilities, and establishing its first technology centre in Europe. The rebranding coincides with another major milestone: Issuing over a billion insurance policies on Peak3’s systems – including the first policies issued to North American customers and the first ones to be issued in Africa.

“We have evolved from an embedded insurance pioneer in Asia to a global end-to-end technology partner for the insurance industry,” said Bill Song, Peak3 Group CEO and Co-Founder. “Our new name represents three pinnacles: scaling the heights of innovation, surpassing performance limits, and delivering superior reliability – as we help insurers reach the highest summits of their cloud, data, and AI transformation.”

Bill Song also emphasised the growth opportunity: “There is an incredible tech investment backlog in the US$7-trillion global insurance industry. Continued digitalisation and the proliferation of AI will require structural investments by insurers over the next decade to modernise their core systems. We are uniquely positioned to capture this opportunity by providing the tech core foundations and innovation use cases.” 

To accelerate its growth journey, Peak3 completed its Series A fundraising and welcomed two new investors on its cap table: EQT, a major global technology investor with a deep heritage in Europe, and Alpha JWC Ventures, a leading venture firm in Southeast Asia. With the funding, Peak3 will advance its analytics and AI capabilities toward an intelligent core insurance solution, grow its EMEA operations and establish new system integrator partnerships. Peak3 targets double-digit ARR growth this year and is on the path to reach cashflow breakeven over the coming quarters.

Peak3 has also proven its capability to deliver greenfield digital insurance initiatives and complex multi-country core modernisation projects in APAC and EMEA. As the lead investor, EQT is committed to empowering Peak3 in its go-to-market acceleration by leveraging our global network,” stated Clara Ho, Partner at EQT.

J.P. Morgan acted as exclusive financial advisor to Peak3 for this Series A fundraising.
