Private Company

Total funding raised: $3.5M

Overview

Moirai Biodesign is a private, pre-revenue biotechnology platform company founded in 2016 (contradicting initial data) and based in Barcelona, Spain. Its core offering is the 'MoiRNAiFold' platform, a state-of-the-art computational RNA design engine powered by AI algorithms, which it applies to create novel diagnostics and therapeutic RNA molecules. The company has secured non-dilutive funding from the Spanish CDTI and is advancing both a diagnostics technology and a therapeutic design software, positioning itself at the intersection of AI-driven biodesign and RNA medicine.

Diagnostics

Technology Platform

MoiRNAiFold: An AI-based computational platform for the design of a wide array of RNA molecules, from small RNAs and ribozymes to long mRNAs, for therapeutic and diagnostic applications.

Funding History

1
Total raised:$3.5M
Seed$3.5M

Opportunities

The company is positioned in two high-growth markets: AI-accelerated therapeutic design and next-generation molecular diagnostics.
Success in either vertical could lead to lucrative platform licensing deals or the creation of valuable spin-out assets.

Risk Factors

Key risks include the technical challenge of translating computational RNA designs into effective real-world diagnostics and therapeutics, intense competition from other AI-bio companies, and dependence on grant funding with an unclear path to sustainable revenue.

Competitive Landscape

Moirai competes in the crowded AI-for-drug-discovery sector against companies like Absci, Recursion, and Exscientia, and more specifically in RNA design against firms such as Atomic AI and Deep Genomics. Its diagnostic sensor technology also faces competition from established molecular diagnostic players and new entrants in point-of-care testing.
