Selonterra: Funding, Investors & Team (Oct 2026)

Selonterra, Inc. is a San Francisco Bay Area venture capital funded Delaware corporation. Selonterra fundamentally transforms therapeutic approaches to neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease, by a rigorous exploitation of our novel insights into the genetic causes of disease. Selonterra discovered that the altered DNA of genetic variants associated with neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, affect transcription factor binding sites and thereby change the expression of genes nearby. In our Alzheimer’s disease program we develop small molecules that modulate the function of an unexploited, druggable target and will fundamentally change Alzheimer’s disease therapy. We complement our highly relevant extensive experience in start-ups with a global network of specialized collaborator companies and thereby apply state-of-the art technologies to execute our program in a capital efficient way.

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