Private Company

Total funding raised: $5.3M

Overview

Cellecta is a functional genomics company offering a diversified portfolio of products and services centered on pooled genetic screening, cell lineage tracking, and immune repertoire profiling. Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Mountain View, California, the company operates as a private, revenue-generating platform and services provider, supporting the drug discovery pipeline from target ID through biomarker analysis. Its core value proposition lies in integrating high-quality lentiviral constructs, custom library generation, and sophisticated NGS-based analysis into a single provider ecosystem, reducing complexity for research and development teams.

Opportunities

The growing demand for CRISPR-based functional genomics and the expansion into immune repertoire profiling for immuno-oncology present significant growth avenues.
Cross-selling its integrated toolkit (screening, barcoding, profiling) to existing clients creates opportunities for deeper, multi-product relationships and increased revenue per customer.

Risk Factors

Faces intense competition from large, well-capitalized life science tools companies and risks from rapid technological obsolescence in the fast-moving genomics field.
Revenue may also be susceptible to cyclical fluctuations in biopharmaceutical R&D spending.

Competitive Landscape

Cellecta competes in a crowded market against major public tools companies (e.g., Thermo Fisher, Revvity) and specialized startups. Its differentiation lies in its integrated offering of high-quality lentiviral libraries, cell barcoding, immune profiling, and supporting services, positioning it as a specialized, full-service provider rather than a vendor of individual components.
