Tenaya Therapeutics: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

A biotechnology company at the clinical stage is called Tenaya Therapeutics. Leading cardiovascular researchers from the David J. Gladstone Institutes and the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center formed the company in 2016. Our bold objective as a biotechnology firm is to find, create, develop, and provide curative treatments that address the underlying causes of heart disease. Our goal is to alter the way that heart disease is treated, extending and improving the lives of millions of people and families who are coping with this crippling condition. We are developing a pipeline of disease-modifying treatments to target certain sub-populations of individuals with uncommon or widely prevalent forms of cardiac disease. These therapies were created using our product platforms and core internal capabilities.

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