4M Therapeutics Inc.: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

4M Therapeutics Inc. (4MTx) is developing targeted therapies for central nervous system (CNS) disorders. Our discovery platform was developed at Harvard, MIT and the University of Washington to uncover how drugs like lithium enhance the health of living human brain cells – and then to design better alternatives. Pre-clinical data show that our lead asset 4MT2001 has the potential to provide a better combination of efficacy and safety than lithium for the treatment of bipolar disorder (BPD). Clinical trials will begin in early 2025 as we seek to address a $6 billion US market. Beyond BPD, our pipeline has the potential to address Alzheimer’s disease, frontal temporal dementia, and other brain disorders with broad clinical, commercial, and partnering potential. 4MTx is led by CEO Pablo Lapuerta, who has developed and launched multiple drugs. He introduced into clinical trials the first targeted CNS kinase inhibitor to show successful proof-of-concept data. Board Chair Don Hayden was previously President of Global Pharmaceuticals at Bristol Myers-Squibb and led the development and commercialization of CNS blockbuster Abilify (peak annual sales > $6B). Board member Dr. Lawrence Goldstein co-founded publicly-traded Cytokinetics and is professor emeritus at UC San Diego with extensive CNS experience.

About FundedIQ's 4M Therapeutics Inc. Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for 4M Therapeutics Inc. is left off this page rather than filled in.
