Intro

For the biotech industry, 2024 meant the return of the venture capital megaround. And one startup, Xaira Therapeutics, took it a step further, expanding the industry’s definition of a megaround by reeling in a rarely seen $1 billion financing early in the year.  

In this week’s episode of The Top Line, we dive into a recently published report from Fierce Biotech highlighting the industry’s top 10 money raisers in 2024, led by none other than Xaira. Fierce’s Gabrielle Masson and Andrea Park talk about some of the year’s biggest financing rounds, how 2024’s list compares to 2023 and what indications are changing the fundraising scene.
