NextPoint is launching a new world of precision therapeutics through its leading scientific work on the novel B7-H7/HHLA2 axis. Our team of proven drug developers is advancing an antibody-drug conjugate with our proprietary linker technology, a T-cell engager with wide therapeutic window, and a multi-functional checkpoint inhibitor. Our innovative approach integrates foundational science with a defined clinical biomarker to identify the right patient population for each B7-H7-directed modality, so that we can deliver first-in-class therapies to a broad range of cancer patients with B7-H7 upregulation including those who do not benefit from currently approved therapies such as PD-1/L1 inhibitors.

IN8bio, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of gamma-delta T cell therapies for the treatment of cancer. Gamma-delta T cells are naturally occurring immune cells that embody properties of both the innate and adaptive immune systems, and can intrinsically differentiate between healthy and diseased tissue. IN8bio develops ex vivo-expanded and activated gamma-delta T cells based upon its deep expertise in gamma-delta T cell biology, proprietary genetic engineering, and cell-type specific manufacturing capabilities, which we refer to collectively as our DeltEx platform. IN8bio’s platform employs allogeneic, autologous, and genetically modified approaches to develop novel cell therapies, which are designed to effectively identify and eradicate tumor cells. IN8bio is currently the most clinically advanced gamma-delta T cell company and the first company to bring genetically modified gamma-delta T cells into the clinic.

OS Fund invests in entrepreneurs using applied intelligence to commercialize breakthrough discoveries in genomics, synthetic biology, diagnostics, new materials, and data and energy. We seek out platform enabling technologies that accelerate discovery and commercialization. We never invest in a single molecule, model or algorithm. We do hard science investing with technology level risk.
We work with our portfolio companies to develop foundational IP that solves real-world challenges and paves a path for commercialization. We’ve thoughtfully constructed a cross-disciplinary group of companies that are each uniquely contributing to the robust ecosystem they all need to thrive.
