Private Company

Total funding raised: $17.5M

Overview

Motac Neuroscience operates a hybrid business model, combining a specialized preclinical CRO service with an internal drug discovery and development pipeline. Its core strength lies in its deep scientific expertise in neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders, particularly Parkinson's disease, supported by state-of-the-art rodent and non-human primate (NHP) facilities and a team with extensive publication and discovery records. The company leverages its research services to fund and de-risk its own asset development, seeking strategic alliances to advance its proprietary programs targeting movement disorders.

Opportunities

Growing global demand for specialized preclinical CRO services in neuroscience, driven by high unmet need and complex biology.
Significant upside potential from partnering its proprietary IP portfolio of novel chemical entities and targets for movement disorders with larger pharma companies.

Risk Factors

Revenue dependency on the cyclical preclinical CRO market and niche neuroscience focus.
High scientific and development risk associated with its early-stage proprietary pipeline.
Reliance on key scientific personnel and concentrated expertise in specific disease models.

Competitive Landscape
