| Date | Stage | Investors | Raised | Valuation | Deal Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jun 2026 | Series D | - | $35M | - | Paris-based medtech company Tissium secured a €60 million financing package to expand its sutureless nerve repair platform, COAPTIUM CONNECT, into US operating rooms. The deal consists of two components: a €30 million Series D2 round completed in late 2025, led by an undisclosed US family-owned investor with participation from new family offices, wealthy individuals, and existing backers; and a €30 million credit line from the European Investment Bank, structured in three €10 million tranches contingent on commercial, clinical, and financing milestones. The financing combines dilutive equity and venture debt, with Tissium expecting to draw the first tranche before the end of June 2026. This raise brings Tissium’s total funding to over €200 million since 2013. The company’s first product is already on sale in the US, and it aims to replace the surgeon’s needle with a light-cured glue for peripheral nerve repair. Previous funding includes a €50 million Series C round in 2024 led by Cathay Health, with backing from Sofinnova Partners. Tissium operates offices in Paris and Cambridge, Massachusetts, and develops biopolymer technology for tissue reconstruction and nerve repair. |
| May 2023 | Series D | Sofinnova Partners; Mérieux Equity Partners; Crédit Mutuel Innovation; Bpifrance; Cathay Capital | $54M | $268M | TISSIUM is a privately-owned medtech company based in Paris, France, and Boston, USA, developing biomorphic programmable polymers for tissue reconstruction, including products for sutureless nerve repair (COAPTIUM Connect), hernia repair, and cardiovascular sealants. The company, a spinout associated with Bob Langer, focuses on a platform of seven products enhancing tissue reconstruction. The company closed a Series D funding round on May 23, 2023, raising €50 million ($53.8-54 million) from new investors Fonds Stratégique des Transitions (managed by ISALT), Mérieux Developpement, and returning investors Cathay Health, Crédit Mutuel Innovation, and Sofinnova Partners. The funding supports commercialization of TISSIUM's first products in nerve and hernia repair, ongoing first-in-human studies for nerve repair in Australia, regulatory activities, pipeline extension, in-house manufacturing, and international expansion starting with the US market followed by EU and others. CEO Christophe Bancel noted the financing positions the company to launch products by 2024 despite a challenging funding environment, leveraging the technology's atraumatic repair potential across therapeutic areas. TISSIUM has raised a total of approximately $201-214 million across 11 funding rounds as of mid-2025, with this Series D being the largest at ~$54M; subsequent rounds included debt financing and an accelerator in 2024-2025. |

TISSIUM's technology platform leverages fully biosynthetic, biomorphic, and programmable polymers designed to enhance tissue reconstruction processes uniquely across its pipeline of seven products in three verticals.
