A look back at an IPO for Evommune, growing our portfolio companies and adding new talent to the team

2025 was a productive year for Amplitude Ventures, with our portfolio and team achieving some important milestones.  

Evommune is a great example. In November, the company, which is creating game-changing science to treat chronic inflammatory diseases, IPO’d on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: EVMN). following our investment in the company’s Series B and Series C rounds in 2023 and 2024, respectively. This year our portfolio companies raised a combined total of US$226.5 million to advance their programs. In addition, we added more than a dozen talented C-suite and board executives to our portfolio companies, helping them accelerate the clinical and commercial success of those businesses. 

Some other major achievements from across the portfolio this year include: 

Plus, Stereo Biotherapeutics and Rime Therapeutics, two companies we co-founded through Pre-Amp, our engine for discovering, incubating, and funding innovation in precision medicine, earned recognition for their pursuit of cutting-edge digital technologies and earned spots in the Merck Digital Sciences Studio

This year, we hosted the Amplitude Fellowship Class of 2025, which brought eight up-and-coming world-class scientists together to conduct a series of in-depth, one-month explorations to identify hypotheses for novel healthcare ventures.  We also hosted numerous exclusive events, including our Annual Symposium, which brought our investors, portfolio CEOs, and leaders in precision medicine together for a day and a half of networking and learning. 

Importantly, in 2025, we also grew our team with the addition of Colton Strong, Analyst and Karen Li,  Marketing and Communications Manager. 

Finally, we would like to extend a special congratulations to our Venture Partner, Nancy Harrison, who was honoured with the 2025 Gold Leaf Award for Industry Leadership (Ecosystem Builder)! Nancy is a pillar of the Canadian life sciences ecosystem and continues guide emerging early-stage life sciences companies through the Investor Readiness Program, a great example of our commitment to company building.

With partnering, financing, and M&A activity on the rise for the biotech sector, we anticipate a busy year ahead with new investments, successful exits, and exciting advancements in precision medicine.

From all of us at Amplitude Ventures and Pre-Amp, we wish you the happiest of holidays and a great 2026!
