There are 4,179 funded Biotechnology startups 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, along with the 100 most recently funded Biotechnology startups.
Cambridge and San Diego hold the deepest concentrations of these companies. Biotechnology startups closed 2,309 funding rounds over the last 24 months, 1,204 of them in the last 12 months, and raised $86B in disclosed capital. The median disclosed round is $8.0M, with the middle half of rounds falling between $2.3M and $36M.
Biotechnology funding centers on the United States, though significant activity spreads across the United Kingdom, Canada, France, and Switzerland. This geographic distribution means a global strategy is necessary. Engagement with these firms involves coordinating across several different nations rather than focusing on a single city. Heavy involvement from Eli Lilly and Fidelity indicates strong institutional backing across these borders.

About the FundedIQ Biotechnology startup funding data
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.
Figures on this page cover the 4,179 funded Biotechnology startups currently tracked. Round counts, capital totals and the median round are computed over a trailing 24 months. Rounds whose amount was not disclosed (287 of 2,309 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 is dated Aug 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.
