BioAge Labs, Inc., a Richmond, CA-based biotechnology company developing medicines to treat aging and aging-related diseases, raised $90m in Series C financing.
The round was co-led by Andreessen Horowitz and serial entrepreneur Elad Gil, with participation from new investors Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, AARP Foundation (through the RockCreek Impact Fund) and Phi-X Capital, the fund of genomics entrepreneur Mostafa Ronaghi, among others, as well as current investors Caffeinated Capital, Redpoint Ventures, PEAR Ventures, AME Cloud Ventures, Felicis Ventures, and others.
