Pelage Pharmaceuticals, Inc. has raised $134.0M in total funding. The most recent round was Series B.
Pelage Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is headquartered in Los Angeles, CA.
Existing hair loss treatments like minoxidil and PRP have limited efficacy and unclear mechanisms, target only secondary factors such as hormones, and no new FDA-approved options have emerged in almost three decades.
Pelage is developing PP405, a topically-applied small molecule designed to reactivate dormant hair follicle stem cells and regrow hair.
The approach is based on UCLA scientists' discovery of a metabolic switch that activates hair follicle stem cells, is non-hormonal and designed for all genders and hair types, and is applied topically without detectable systemic exposure.
Pelage raised a $120 million Series B co-led by ARCH Venture Partners and Google's venture arm GV, with GV's Cathy Friedman appointed board chair.
