Matt Shair and Jim Porter (Nuvalent)

Months af­ter emerg­ing from stealth, Nu­va­lent fol­lows up with $135M Se­ries B — backed by some ac­tive play­ers on the biotech IPO scene

When Matt Shair un­veiled a $50 mil­lion Se­ries A for his lat­est tar­get­ed ther­a­py start­up ear­li­er this year, the Har­vard pro­fes­sor was pleased with how cap­i­tal ef­fi­cient they man­aged to be.

“I think a lot of com­pa­nies would take that $50 mil­lion and make some progress,” Shair, who had co-found­ed In­fin­i­ty Phar­ma years ago, told End­points News then. “But we’ve tak­en that $50 mil­lion and with a small num­ber of peo­ple, have two com­pounds head­ed in­to the clin­ic in three years, and have oth­er pro­grams in dis­cov­ery phase.”
