Erasca: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

Our mission at Erasca is embedded in our name: To erase cancer. Energized by recent scientific discoveries and advances in drugging various biological drivers of cancer, we are committed to solving oncology’s hardest problems. We have assembled a proven team and joined forces with world-class collaborators who embrace our ambitious goals. In addition to our initial programs for undisclosed cancer targets, we seek to expand our pipeline through partnerships with academic scientists and biopharmaceutical companies who have revealed potential new mechanisms for precision oncology. Importantly, Erasca isn’t tied to one form of drug or any singular approach to treating cancer. By keeping an open mind about what is possible, we believe we will achieve the greatest results for patients everywhere.

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