Gesynta Pharma: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)
Gesynta Pharma is a pharmaceutical company in the clinical testing stage that is developing a range of compounds that target the pro-inflammatory enzyme mPGES-1. The company's research is rooted in Karolinska Institutet. Their leading drug candidate, vipoglanstat (GS-248), is currently being developed as a non-hormonal treatment for endometriosis. In preclinical testing on endometriosis, vipoglanstat showed significant reductions in the number of lesions associated with the disease, as well as providing pain relief and improved well-being. Clinical studies have shown that vipoglanstat has a favorable safety profile and promising pharmacological properties, leading to preparations for a phase II study in patients with endometriosis. Endometriosis is a common, painful inflammatory disease that affects about 10% of women of reproductive age, with current treatment options often falling short. Gesynta Pharma, founded in 2017 and located in Stockholm, also has plans for another drug candidate, GS-073, to enter clinical testing in 2023 for a different inflammatory condition. Shareholders in the company include Hadean Ventures, Industrifonden, Linc, and a group of successful life science industry entrepreneurs.

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