Total funding raised: $13M
Overview
SOM Biotech is a Spanish biotech leveraging its proprietary AI platform, SOMaiPRO®, to accelerate drug discovery for rare CNS conditions with high unmet need. The platform has demonstrated strong clinical predictivity, with two identified compounds achieving positive Phase 2a proof-of-concept results. The company's lead program, SOM3355 for Huntington's disease, is poised to enter Phase 3, positioning SOM Biotech as a late-stage clinical development entity. Its strategy combines AI-driven discovery with deep clinical expertise to build a targeted pipeline in valuable, underserved neurological and psychiatric markets.

Competitive Landscape
SOM Biotech competes in the rare CNS space with both traditional biopharma companies and other AI-driven drug discovery firms. Its key differentiator is the clinical validation of its AI platform (Phase 2a successes) and its late-stage clinical asset, which is rare among AI-native biotechs. However, larger companies with greater resources are also active in indications like Huntington's and Tardive Dyskinesia.
