Jul 2021Series CD1 Capital Partners (lead); IP Group; aMoon Fund; Agilent; Hostplus; Cultivation Capital$60MMobilion Systems Inc. is a Chadds Ford, PA-based company pioneering fast, efficient, high-resolution instrumentation for biomarker discovery, diagnostics, and biotherapeutic drug characterization using High-Resolution Ion Mobility (HRIM) technology. The company announced the closing of a $60 million Series C financing round on July 13, 2021, led by D1 Capital Partners, with participation from existing investors aMoon Fund, Agilent Technologies, IP Group, Hostplus, and Cultivation Capital. The funding follows the recent launch of Mobilion's first commercial HRIM product, MOBIE, which addresses characterization challenges in biopharmaceutical drug development and quality monitoring. MOBIE provides faster, easier, and more complete analysis of critical quality assays, accelerating biotherapeutic drug development and enhancing protein characterization for product quality, safety, and efficacy, as demonstrated in peer-reviewed publications. Proceeds from the Series C round are designated to scale commercialization of MOBIE to the broader biopharma industry and advance product development for expansion into bioprocessing and multiomic biomarker discovery markets, including cell and gene therapy and discovery-omics. D1 Capital Partners' analyst Alex Wagner highlighted Mobilion's positioning to deliver rich biological insights, while CEO Dr. Melissa Sherman expressed excitement over the validation of MOBIE's capabilities in streamlining protein characterization workflows.
