Xeris Pharmaceuticals: Funding, Investors & Team (Oct 2026)

Xeris is a specialty pharmaceutical company leveraging its novel formulation technology platforms to develop and commercialize ready-to-use, liquid-stable injectables. The company’s proprietary XeriSol and XeriJect formulation technologies allow for the subcutaneous (SC) and intramuscular (IM) delivery of highly concentrated, non-aqueous, ready-to-use formulations of peptides, proteins, antibodies, and small molecules using syringes, auto-injectors, multi-dose pens, and infusion pumps. Xeris’ platforms have the potential to offer distinct advantages over existing formulations of marketed and development-stage products. In particular, XeriSol and XeriJect offer the opportunity to eliminate reconstitution, enable long-term room temperature stability, significantly reduce injection volume, and eliminate the requirement for intravenous (IV) infusion. These attributes can lead to products that are easier to use by patients, caregivers, and health practitioners and reduce costs for payers and the healthcare system.

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