Another one to round out a big year at Enveda! 130 million more chances to deliver new hope to patients, the work experience of a lifetime for our employees, incredible returns to our investors, breakthrough technology to the world, and knowledge (Veda) to humanity 🚀
Enveda@lifeschemistry

We’re thrilled to announce $130M in Series C funding led by @KinnevikAB and FPV, with participation from @BaillieGifford , @premjiinvest , @Lux_Capital , @trueventures , and many more new and existing partners. With this new capital, we plan to advance multiple drug candidates through Phase 1/2 clinical trials. In just 4 short years since our seed round, we’ve gone from a concept to a clinical-stage company with a deep pipeline of 10 development candidates. 🚀 Thanks to the hard work of our team and the power of our platform, we’re delivering drug candidates 4x faster than industry average—a testament to our thesis, technology, and team. This marks a significant step forward in our journey to transform the future of drug discovery. A heartfelt thank you to our investors, partners, and, most importantly, our talented team for making this possible. Here’s to the next chapter of growth, discovery, and development! 💊💡 Learn more here: tinyurl.com/545v3bwu Read our feature in @Bloomberg here: tinyurl.com/yj4e8j8f

the first public sneak peek of data from @lifeschemistry's first clinical trials this is small early data, but has the potential to be: 1) clinically differentiated and meaningfully best in class 2) small molecule vs injectable 3) active in an all-patient population, including for non responders to IL-4/IL-13/STAT6 pathway

We waste too much time worrying about short term hype. Hyper-fixating on the news cycle isn’t going to fix the biggest problems facing society in the coming decades. The world needs more long term thinking. So we are launching Forecast 2050: a series of conversations with the thinkers, founders, and investors shaping the next 25 years. Thank you to @tylercowen, Scott Aaronson, @noor_siddiqui_, @soundboy, @matthewclifford, @devonzuegel, @CJHandmer, @MalcolmRifkind, Yanai Yedvab, @viswacolluru, @pablolubroth, and @PhilipJohnston for joining us. First episode with Tyler drops tomorrow. Stay tuned.

On Tuesday at #JPM26, I’ll start with ENV-294. Strong Phase 1b data in moderate-to-severe AD with clean safety and best-in-disease potential. More than a drug, it’s proof that the system we built works. ENV-294 is the moment where promise becomes proof!.
Enveda@lifeschemistry

Six years ago, this was a thesis. Today, it’s clinical data. Next week at #JPM26, we’ll be sharing progress that reflects years of deliberate choices coming together. Our oral therapy for atopic dermatitis, ENV-294, has generated compelling Phase 1b data showing strong clinical activity and a clean safety profile in one of the largest and most competitive categories in medicine. The signal supports best-in-disease potential and represents exciting clinical proof of the thesis Enveda was built on. ENV-294 matters not just because it is a strong program, but because it is the output of a system we have been building since day one. A company singularly focused on discovering, developing, and delivering breakthrough medicines with the potential to not just capture, but create markets. We now have three assets in the clinic: ENV-294 in atopic dermatitis and asthma, now in Phase 2a with a Jak-like efficacy and a Dupi-like safety profile ENV-308 for obesity, with the first patient dosed in Phase 1, a “statin for obesity”, engineered for a post-GLP1 world ENV-6946 for IBD, bringing together clinically validated biology across TNFa, TL1A, IL23, and NLRP3, via a single novel-target delivered in a convenient pill With additional INDs expected in 2026, Enveda is now a multi-asset clinical-stage company with a highly concentrated set of upcoming catalysts. Looking ahead over the next several quarters, this foundation provides both momentum and resilience. It positions us to move quickly, take meaningful swings, and continue building a generational company that endures. We look forward to sharing more next week in San Francisco. #JPM26 #ENV294 #ENV308 #DrugDiscovery #ClinicalTrials #Biotech #Enveda #LearningFromLife #RevolutionizingImmunology #RevolutionizingObesity

in context of the dave ricks cheeky pint podcast making the rounds at Enveda we're now dosing patients with a new molecule: entirely distinct from the GLP-GIP axes, with the promise to be uncompromising on distinguishing unwanted fat vs lean muscle, avoidant of nausea and other adverse effects that uniformly plague existing drugs, and taken daily as a pill the potential new statin

We are excited to welcome Nadeem Sarwar to Enveda as SVP & Global Head of Disease Prevention and Metabolic Disease Strategy. Nadeem brings rare experience from the front lines of metabolic medicine, as the former Co-Founder and Head of the Transformational Prevention Unit (TPU) at @novonordisk , where he helped shape the industry's approach to obesity, risk, and long-term health. At Enveda, we believe the future of medicine is not just treating disease, but ensuring long-term benefit or even preventing it before it takes hold. With our first-in-class oral metabolic program now in the clinic, Nadeem will help unlock the next chapter: medicines designed for durability, scalability, and real-world use. This isn’t just about doing things differently. It’s about raising the bar for what patients can expect. We are thrilled to help build a healthier future for society. Welcome to Enveda, Nadeem.

We are proud to announce our latest milestone at Enveda: FDA IND clearance and first patient dosed for ENV-308, our first-in-class oral therapy for obesity. GLP-1s changed expectations for weight loss. But they also raised challenging questions: Can patients stay on them long term? What happens after weight loss? Who can realistically access injectable medicines on a global scale? ENV-308 is a once-daily oral small molecule designed with exciting potential for durability, tolerability, and real-world use. It’s built for long-term metabolic health, not just short-term weight loss. And it’s designed to fit into everyday life, earlier in care and over years, not months. Obesity is a chronic disease. Solving it at the population scale will require new tools, new thinking, and medicines designed to last. This milestone is a first step. And yes, we are now a multi-asset clinical-stage company!

🪩The one and only @stateofai 2025 is live! 🪩 It’s been a monumental 12 months for AI. Our 8th annual report is the most comprehensive it's ever been, covering what you *need* to know about research, industry, politics, safety and our new usage data. My highlight reel:

Raising $150M wasn’t the only headline. Discovery is nothing without delivery ENV-294, our lead drug for #atopicdermatitis, has entered Phase 1b. A completely new way of tackling this disease, and potentially others across #inflammation, is playing out in patients. Experience that shapes the industry Mikael Dolsten joins Enveda. Former CSO of Pfizer, with 36 approvals and 150+ candidates. He knows what it takes to turn science into #medicines that matter. This is just the beginning.

@viswacolluru & the amazing team @lifeschemistry have been defying the odds from the moment we invested in 2019. What began as a contrarian premise has driven an extraordinary clinical pipeline being recognized by both capital markets and pharma. Congratulations!

How we built a unicorn from seed in 5 years… There are no secrets, but purpose, pace, and an incredible team certainly help. “We’re combining ancient ancestral wisdom with the power of nature’s chemistry with modern AI and drug discovery,” Colluru said. “We’re standing on the shoulders of maybe the giant, which is Mother Nature.” Read more by @damiangarde in @business about how we raised our Series D, advanced our lead candidate in atopic dermatitis to Phase 1b, and brought on a pharma legend Mikael Dolsten as we prepare to enter more programs in the clinic this year... and stay tuned for more. #Unicorn #Startups #AI #DrugDiscovery #Nature
