Seed funding plays a crucial role in the biotech startup ecosystem, providing early-stage companies with the capital needed to develop innovative technologies and therapies. According to Labiotech, seed funding rounds for biotech startups have shown significant activity in recent years. In 2024, there were multiple seed funding rounds across various months, with amounts ranging from a few million to tens of millions of dollars per round (Labiotech 2024 funding tracker).  

The biotech sector continues to attract substantial investment across different funding stages, with seed rounds being particularly important for launching new ventures in areas such as drug discovery, gene therapies, and AI-enabled biotechnology platforms.
