StemSight is developing off-the-shelf advanced therapies for curing blindness. Based on 20 years of clinical stem cell research for eye applications, StemSight’s first product is aimed at a pressing unmet need in corneal blindness called Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency – a severe rare disease which affects over 20,000 patients in Europe and the US who are most often blinded in their mid-30s due to injury or infections. StemSight’s product aims to restore sight to these patients by replacing the lost cells in the eye. Our approach is highly-differentiated in a $14b unaddressed market. In the future, we aim to use our therapeutic platform to create a pipeline of other sight-restoring therapies. We are in the middle of a 2 million equity round, that we will supplement with already-awarded non-dilutive funding for a total funding of 5,7 million €. The seed round will advance our lead asset towards clinical trials, estimated to start in 2027, and strengthen our pipeline.
