Across the 50 most recent biotechnology rounds in the San Diego area, the largest disclosed amount is Ligand Pharmaceuticals’ $625M (2026-06-23). That figure dwarfs the rest of the disclosed rounds in this view: the next-largest disclosed amounts are in the $600M range (Mirum Pharmaceuticals $600M on 2026-05-12; Travere Therapeutics $475M on 2026-05-06), while many other disclosed rounds cluster far lower, such as $75M for Lycia Therapeutics (2026-06-25) and $6M for Rejuvenate Bio (2026-06-08).
The dates also form clusters near the end of the period: 2026 is dense across June (e.g., Lycia Therapeutics 2026-06-25; ClearNote Health 2026-05-27) with the most recent entry dated 2026-06-25 (Lycia Therapeutics). Stage information is heavily incomplete or nonstandard in this slice: 19 of 50 rows are “Series Unknown,” and another 3 are “undisclosed,” leaving only a minority with explicitly labeled Seed/Series A–E (e.g., cAMPfield Therapeutics Seed: Seed on 2026-05-14 is undisclosed, while cAMPfield is Series A $180M on 2026-05-20).
