Cellvie: Funding, Investors & Team (Oct 2026)

Using the medicinal potential of mitochondria, the cell's powerhouses, Cellvie creates cell-derived medications. At the root of the origin of complex life are mitochondria. The future organelle, which was probably a bacterium at the time, joined with a basic organism to form a symbiotic relationship: The organism supplied the mitochondria with an environment to grow as they started to give the energy for complex cellular activities to evolve. Currently, all human cells, with the exception of red blood cells, include mitochondria. Due to their production of the majority of the energy (ATP) and participation in numerous cellular and metabolic processes, they play a crucial role in determining the fate of individual cells.

About FundedIQ's Cellvie 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 Cellvie is left off this page rather than filled in.
