There are 150 funded Biotechnology startups in San Francisco in the FundedIQ database, each with its funding rounds, amounts, investors, industries, locations and company details. This page provides an overview of the Biotechnology startup funding landscape in San Francisco, along with the 100 most recently funded Biotechnology startups in San Francisco.

The median disclosed round is $20M, with the middle half of rounds falling between $6.8M and $60M. Biotechnology startups in San Francisco closed 83 funding rounds over the last 24 months, 52 of them in the last 12 months, and raised $5.1B in disclosed capital.

This concentration means a small group of partners controls the flow of checks. New entrants face a tight circle of gatekeepers who prefer established relationships over cold outreach.

About the FundedIQ Biotechnology startup funding data in San Francisco

FundedIQ tracks announced startup funding rounds and organises them by company, funding date, stage, amount, industry, location and investor. The dataset is refreshed weekly, and new rounds are normalised and de-duplicated before they are published, so the same round reported twice on different dates is recorded once.

Rounds whose amount was not disclosed (12 of 83 in that period) are counted as rounds but excluded from capital totals and from the median. The most recent round on record for funded Biotechnology startups in San Francisco is dated Jul 2026.

The table above shows the 100 most recently funded companies. Full funding histories, investor lists and founder contacts across the whole dataset open on a FundedIQ plan.
