  • MIL-OSI: VanEck Prepares to Launch PurposeBuilt Fund to Invest in Real-World Applications on Avalanche

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    The information contained in the private placement memorandum (the “PPM”) for the VanEck PurposeBuilt Fund, L.P. is not complete and may be changed. Van Eck may not solicit subscriptions until the limited partnership’s interests are available for purchase. The private placement memorandum is not an offer or a solicitation for subscriptions referenced therein and is not a solicitation for an offer or solicitation for subscriptions in any state where the offer is not permitted. Please view the PPM here: VanEck PurposeBuilt Fund Private Placement Memorandum.

    NEW YORK, May 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — VanEck, a leading asset manager, is today announcing the upcoming launch of the VanEck PurposeBuilt Fund, a private digital assets fund that will invest in businesses building on Avalanche and launching tokens designed to create long-term value and utility. The Fund is expected to launch in June 2025.

    The Fund will invest in liquid tokens and venture-backed projects—spanning industries that include gaming, financial services, payments and AI—typically around or after a Token Generation Event, with a fundamentals-first strategy focused on long-term outcomes. Idle capital will be deployed onchain through Avalanche-native real-world asset (RWA) products, including tokenized money market funds, to maintain liquidity while reinforcing the broader onchain economy.

    The Fund will be managed by the team behind the VanEck Digital Assets Alpha Fund (DAAF), one of the strongest-performing directional liquid token funds in the market, with over $100 million in assets under management. Since launching in 2022, DAAF has focused on investing in liquid tokens tied to scalable products, economic alignment and real adoption. This same approach is being applied to the PurposeBuilt Fund, with a focus on the Avalanche ecosystem, currently valued at nearly $50 billion. The team sees a growing concentration of serious builders leveraging the Avalanche network to pioneer new markets, while generating onchain economic activity. The PurposeBuilt Fund reflects VanEck’s conviction in the “GDP onchain” thesis: that blockchain technology will eventually be core to global economic and financial systems and that the projects that align with this vision will be the most durable.

    “The next wave of value in crypto will come from real businesses, not more infrastructure,” said Pranav Kanade, Portfolio Manager of VanEck Digital Assets Alpha Fund. “Avalanche has become a magnet for thoughtful builders, and with the VanEck PurposeBuilt Fund, we’re bringing capital and conviction to the founders creating lasting value, not chasing momentum.”

    The Fund is designed to address a persistent challenge in today’s crypto market. Founders launching legitimate blockchain-enabled businesses often struggle to stand out in an environment dominated by short-term speculation. This distorts incentives, undermines token credibility and slows real adoption. The Fund offers strategic, differentiated capital and long-term alignment, empowering mission-driven founders to stay focused, remain long-term oriented and scale effectively.

    “VanEck’s launch of the PurposeBuilt Fund marks a pivotal moment for the Avalanche ecosystem,” commented John Nahas, Chief Business Officer at Ava Labs. “We’re seeing a shift away from speculative hype toward real utility and sustainable token economies, and the VanEck PurposeBuilt Fund aims to bring the kind of long-term capital and strategic conviction that builders need to lead that shift. This fund reinforces the strength of Avalanche as the home for serious founders who are scaling real businesses and driving meaningful onchain adoption.”

    Avalanche continues to attract teams creating real-world applications across sectors, including DeFi, RWAs, AI, gaming, payments and FinTech. These builders are delivering enterprise-grade products already being adopted by web2 platforms and traditional institutions. The VanEck PurposeBuilt Fund ensures they have the capital, support and signal they need to succeed.

    About VanEck

    VanEck has a history of looking beyond the financial markets to identify trends that are likely to create impactful investment opportunities. We were one of the first U.S. asset managers to offer investors access to international markets. This set the tone for the firm’s drive to identify asset classes and trends — including gold investing in 1968, emerging markets in 1993, and exchange traded funds in 2006 — that subsequently shaped the investment management industry.

    Today, VanEck offers active and passive strategies with compelling exposures supported by well-designed investment processes. As of 4/30/2025, VanEck managed approximately $116.6 billion in assets, including mutual funds, ETFs and institutional accounts. The firm’s capabilities range from core investment opportunities to more specialized exposures to enhance portfolio diversification. Our actively managed strategies are fueled by in-depth, bottom-up research and security selection from portfolio managers with direct experience in the sectors and regions in which they invest. Investability, liquidity, diversity, and transparency are key to the experienced decision-making around market and index selection underlying VanEck’s passive strategies.

    Since our founding in 1955, putting our clients’ interests first, in all market environments, has been at the heart of the firm’s mission.

    About Avalanche

    Avalanche is an ultra-fast, low-latency blockchain platform designed for builders who need high performance at scale. The network’s architecture allows for the creation of sovereign, efficient and fully interoperable public and private layer 1 (L1) blockchains which leverage the Avalanche Consensus Mechanism to achieve high throughput and near-instant transaction finality. The ease and speed of launching an L1, and the breadth of architectural customization choices, make Avalanche the perfect environment for a composable multi-chain future.

    Supported by a global community of developers and validators, Avalanche offers a fast, low-cost environment for building decentralized applications (dApps). With its combination of speed, flexibility, and scalability, Avalanche is the platform of choice for innovators pushing the boundaries of blockchain technology.

    Important Disclosures – VanEck PurposeBuilt Fund and VanEck Digital Assets Alpha Fund

    The VanEck PurposeBuilt Fund and the VanEck Digital Assets Alpha Fund (together, the “Funds”) are not registered investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and are therefore not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds or ETFs.

    VAN ECK ABSOLUTE RETURN ADVISERS CORPORATION (“VEARA”), THE INVESTMENT MANAGER OF THE FUNDS, IS A MEMBER OF NFA AND IS SUBJECT TO NFA’S REGULATORY OVERSIGHT AND EXAMINATIONS.

YOU SHOULD ALSO BE AWARE THAT GIVEN CERTAIN MATERIAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THESE PRODUCTS, INCLUDING LACK OF A CENTRALIZED PRICING SOURCE AND THE OPAQUE NATURE OF THE VIRTUAL CURRENCY MARKET, THERE CURRENTLY IS NO SOUND OR ACCEPTABLE PRACTICE FOR NFA TO ADEQUATELY VERIFY THE OWNERSHIP AND CONTROL OF A VIRTUAL CURRENCY OR THE VALUATION ATTRIBUTED TO A VIRTUAL CURRENCY BY VEARA.

    Each Fund is available to Qualified Purchasers Only. Prospective investors should carefully review the respective Private Placement Memorandum (“PPM”) before investing. There is no guarantee either Fund will achieve its investment objectives, and investors may lose all or a substantial portion of their investment. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

    Both Funds pursue speculative investment strategies and involve significant risks. Individual investor performance may vary materially due to factors such as investment timing, new issue participation, expense structures, and the impact of loss carryforwards. Investor performance will be reflected in monthly statements provided by the Administrator.

    The VanEck PurposeBuilt Fund seeks capital appreciation through investments in Digital Assets, tokenized real world assets (“RWAs”), Digital Asset projects, and companies associated with the Avalanche ecosystem. Investments include equity, equity-like, and debt instruments of early-stage blockchain and Digital Asset companies. The Fund may employ staking, yield-farming, and investments across centralized and decentralized platforms.

    The VanEck Digital Assets Alpha Fund seeks capital appreciation by investing in 5 to 30 Digital Assets with high perceived upside relative to current valuations and generally with market capitalizations above $100 million. It also invests in public and private securities of Digital Asset companies. The Fund intends to generate yield through staking and DeFi-based lending, maintaining a general allocation of 70–90% in Digital Assets with the remainder focused on yield-generating strategies.

    VanEck Purpose Build Fund and VanEck Digital Assets Alpha Fund: Investments may include a wide variety of digital instruments and structures, including cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, NFTs, tokens, RWAs, DeFi protocols, DAOs, ICOs, SAFTs, SAFEs, token warrants, and synthetic assets. These technologies are new, may be untested, and are subject to competitive pressures, adoption challenges, and technological obsolescence.

    General Digital Asset Risk Disclosures

    Cryptocurrencies and digital assets are not suitable for all investors. Investments in digital assets and Web3 companies are highly speculative and involve a high degree of risk. These risks include, but are not limited to: the technology is new and many of its uses may be untested; intense competition; slow adoption rates and the potential for product obsolescence; volatility and limited liquidity, including but not limited to, inability to liquidate a position; loss or destruction of key(s) to access accounts or the blockchain; reliance on digital wallets; reliance on unregulated markets and exchanges; reliance on the internet; cybersecurity risks; and the lack of regulation and the potential for new laws and regulation that may be difficult to predict. Moreover, the extent to which Web3 companies or digital assets utilize blockchain technology may vary, and it is possible that even widespread adoption of blockchain technology may not result in a material increase in the value of such companies or digital assets. 

    Digital asset prices are highly volatile, and the value of digital assets, and Web3 companies, can rise or fall dramatically and quickly. If their value goes down, there’s no guarantee that it will rise again. As a result, there is a significant risk of loss of your entire principal investment. 

    Digital assets are not generally backed or supported by any government or central bank and are not covered by FDIC or SIPC insurance. Accounts at digital asset custodians and exchanges are not protected by SPIC and are not FDIC insured. Furthermore, markets and exchanges for digital assets are not regulated with the same controls or customer protections available in traditional equity, option, futures, or foreign exchange investing. 

    Digital assets include, but are not limited to, cryptocurrencies, tokens, NFTs, assets stored or created using blockchain technology, and other Web3 products. 

    Web3 companies include but are not limited to, companies that involve the development, innovation, and/or utilization of blockchain, digital assets, or crypto technologies.

Panther’s move to greater accessibility for development reflects its organizational shift towards more community-led development, as Panther’s IP has transitioned to the Panther Protocol Foundation. 

    Moving forward, the Foundation will oversee the protocol’s ongoing development and strategic growth, setting the stage for increased community engagement and a decentralized governance model through the Panther DAO.

    Before being made publicly available, Panther’s code underwent a detailed review by Veridise. The audit included an analysis of Panther’s Zero-Knowledge circuits, and smart contracts. With the audit now complete, Panther’s codebase has been made publicly available under the LGPL3.0 and MIT License.

    Dr. Anish Mohammed, Co-Founder of Panther Protocol, commented: “Open-sourcing Panther’s audited code represents a significant milestone in our journey toward transparency and decentralization. By making our technology accessible, we invite the broader decentralized finance and Web3 community to contribute, innovate, and verify our security, ensuring Panther’s continued growth as a trusted, privacy-preserving DeFi protocol. The goal of the project was always to build an infrastructure where compliance and confidentiality can coexist, and we would like to invite everyone to try out the solutions that have been built.”

    A Platform for Builders

    Panther’s open-source release supports the broader Web3 community. Web3 builders, licensed Zone Managers, and developers will be able to take advantage of Panther’s privacy-focused infrastructure and tooling to build DeFi applications that provide greater privacy and confidentiality to users. With Panther’s codebase now open-source, developers can adapt and build upon existing tools to create their own infrastructure that benefits from Panther. 

    With governance remaining in the hands of the Panther DAO, the protocol will continue to evolve in line with community values. This release furthers Panther’s mission of enabling confidential, compliant access to DeFi.

    Panther’s codebase can be found on the Panther Protocol’s Foundation GitHub and GitLab. The licensing chosen supports the open-source ethos of the Web3 ecosystem, fostering a community-driven approach to Panther’s evolution.

    ENDS

    About Panther Protocol Foundation

  • MIL-OSI: SCOR Senior Euro Loans switches to daily liquidity

    PRESS RELEASE | May 21st, 2025 N° 01- 2025

    SCOR Senior Euro Loans switches to daily liquidity

    SCOR Investment Partners, the asset management subsidiary of leading reinsurer, SCOR Group, announces changes to its flagship fund of senior secured bank loans (leveraged loans), 1st lien issued in euro, SCOR Senior Euro Loans.

    With almost 15 years’ experience and close to EUR 2 billion in assets under management in leveraged loan portfolios on behalf of institutional investors, SCOR Investment Partners announces that the fund’s frequency of net asset value calculation has moved from weekly to daily, offering a more flexible investment solution in the asset class. This change is announced alongside the evolution of the fund’s sustainable investment approach.

    These modifications provide investors with access to leveraged loans, an alternative source of bond diversification, through a daily liquidity fund. Leveraged loans, corporate financing instruments, offer liquidity and price transparency that enable immediate investment without a deployment phase, while benefiting from strict credit documentation to manage credit risk. Investors may therefore immediately be exposed to the market, capturing returns while having the ability to manage their exposure on a daily basis.

    Based on a best-in-class approach, the fund’s sustainability analysis is strengthened by the implementation of minimum sector thresholds, determined according to a proprietary methodology. SCOR Senior Euro Loans is classified as Article 8 under the European Regulation on financial services sector sustainability-related disclosures (SFDR).

    These changes came into effect on May 19th, 2025.

    Launched in 2011 and previously named SCOR Sustainable Euro Loans, SCOR Senior Euro Loans has EUR 806 million in assets under management as of March 31st, 2025. Aimed at institutional investors, the fund’s objective remains unchanged: to generate a high current yield while preserving capital over the recommended investment period. The fund is managed by a team of nine experts including six credit analysis, led by Rémy Chupin, supported by a team of four sustainable investment analysts.

    Rémy Chupin, Head of Leveraged Loans at SCOR Investment Partners, commented: “Growing demand from investors such as CLOs has driven the growth of the European leveraged loan market in recent years, bringing its size and its liquidity features closer to those of the high yield market. These factors contribute to offering an actively managed fund with daily liquidity.”

    Louis Bourrousse, CEO of SCOR Investment Partners, added: “I am convinced that our expertise in managing leveraged loans, developed under the leadership of Rémy Chupin since 2011, allows us to offer our institutional clients a liquid solution to diversify their bond allocation. This approach also reaffirms our ambitions in developing our leveraged loan franchise.”

  • MIL-OSI: Bilibili Inc. Announces Proposed Offering of US$500 Million Convertible Senior Notes

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SHANGHAI, May 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bilibili Inc. (“Bilibili” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: BILI and HKEX: 9626), an iconic brand and a leading video community for young generations in China, today announced the proposed offering (the “Notes Offering”) of US$500 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2030 (the “Notes”), subject to market conditions and other factors, only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company intends to grant the initial purchasers in the Notes Offering an option to purchase up to an additional US$75 million principal amount of the Notes, exercisable for settlement within a 30-day period beginning on, and including, the date on which the Notes are first issued.

    The Company plans to use the net proceeds from the Notes Offering to enhance its content ecosystem to facilitate user growth, facilitate IP asset creation, and unleash its inherent potential. The Company also plans to use the net proceeds from the Notes Offering to improve its overall monetization efficiency, fund the Concurrent Repurchase (as defined below), fund future repurchases (from time to time) under its share repurchase program, and for other general corporate purposes.

    When issued, the Notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of the Company. The Notes will mature on June 1, 2030, unless repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. Holders may convert their Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the seventh scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. Upon conversion, the Company will cause to be delivered the Company’s Class Z ordinary shares, par value US$0.0001 per share. Holders may elect to receive the Company’s American depositary shares (“ADS”), each representing one Class Z ordinary share, in lieu of Class Z ordinary shares deliverable upon conversion, subject to certain procedures and conditions set forth in the terms of the notes. The interest rate, initial conversion rate and other terms of the Notes will be determined at the time of pricing of the Notes.

    The Company may redeem for cash all or any part of the Notes on or after June 6, 2028 if the last reported sale price of the Class Z ordinary shares has been at least 130% of the conversion price for the Notes then in effect for at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during any 30 consecutive trading day period preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption (the “Optional Redemption”). In addition, the Company may redeem for cash all but not part of the Notes at any time if less than 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally issued remains outstanding at such time (the “Cleanup Redemption”). The Company may also redeem the Notes upon the occurrence of certain tax-related events (the “Tax Redemption”). Holders of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or part of their Notes in cash on June 1, 2028, or in the event of certain fundamental changes. In connection with certain corporate events or if the Company issues a notice of Optional Redemption, Cleanup Redemption or Tax Redemption, it will, under certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for holders who elect to convert their Notes in connection with such corporate event or such Optional Redemption, Cleanup Redemption or Tax Redemption.

    Concurrently with the Notes Offering, a certain number of the Company’s Class Z ordinary shares are proposed to be borrowed from third parties and offered in a separate underwritten offering by Goldman Sachs (Asia) L.L.C. and Morgan Stanley Asia Limited (the “Underwriters”), each acting severally on behalf of itself and/or its respective affiliates (the “Concurrent Delta Offering”). The Underwriters will use the resulting short position to facilitate hedging transactions by certain investors subscribing for the Notes, who employ a convertible arbitrage strategy (the “Convertible Arbitrage Investors”). The Company has been advised that each Underwriter is concurrently entering into privately negotiated derivative transactions relating to the Class Z ordinary shares, enabling Convertible Arbitrage Investors to establish their initial short positions in the Class Z ordinary shares to hedge market risk in the Notes. The number of Class Z ordinary shares subject to the Concurrent Delta Offering will be determined at the time of pricing of the Concurrent Delta Offering, and is expected to generally correspond to such initial short positions of the Convertible Arbitrage Investors. No new Class Z ordinary shares will be issued in the Concurrent Delta Offering. Any securities sold in the Concurrent Delta Offering will be offered and sold through a concurrent SEC-registered offering pursuant to a separate prospectus supplement and an accompanying base prospectus. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the Concurrent Delta Offering. The Notes Offering and the Concurrent Delta Offering are contingent upon each other.

    The Company also intends to purchase a number of its Class Z ordinary shares offered in the Concurrent Delta Offering for an amount expected to be up to US$100 million at the offering price (the “Concurrent Repurchase”) pursuant to its existing share repurchase program.

    The Company will use part of the proceeds from the Notes Offering for the Concurrent Repurchase. The Concurrent Repurchase enables investors to establish some of their initial short positions in the Class Z ordinary shares to hedge market risk in the Notes and reflects the Company’s confidence in its long-term strategy and growth. The repurchased shares will be cancelled. It is generally expected that the Concurrent Repurchase will help offset some of the potential dilution for the Company’s shareholders upon conversion of the Notes.

    Other Matters

    The Notes, the Class Z ordinary shares deliverable upon conversion of the Notes or the ADSs deliverable in lieu thereof, have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws. They may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. persons, except in reliance on the exemption from registration under the Securities Act.

    This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase any of these securities, nor shall there be a sale of the securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful.

    This press release contains information about the pending Notes Offering, and there can be no assurance that the Notes Offering will be completed.

  • MIL-OSI: ZeroBiometrics Unveils Breakthrough in AI Agent Security with Human-Bound Cryptographic Authentication

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SAN FRANCISCO, May 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In a major leap forward for digital trust and AI governance, ZeroBiometrics has announced a groundbreaking innovation that securely links AI agents to real human identities using its proprietary, template-less biometric cryptographic technology. This advancement addresses one of the most urgent challenges in the AI age: ensuring that autonomous agents act with verifiable, human-authorized intent.

    The new system allows AI agents—ranging from trading bots to autonomous customer support systems—to carry out transactions within strict, pre-defined limits, as enumerated in certificates issued by a biometrically-backed Certificate Authority. Humans are issued root or intermediate certificates via ZeroBiometrics’ privacy-preserving biometric authentication platform, which cryptographically verifies individuals in real time without storing or transmitting biometric templates. That person can issue end-entity certificates to AI Agents to allow them to act within a scoped set of capabilities and participate in a cryptographically verifiable digital identity framework. Certificates can extend an individual’s own identity, or can extend an organization’s identity.

    “AI agents are becoming more powerful, but without trust anchors, they can be hijacked or abused,” said Alfred Chan, CEO of ZeroBiometrics. “Our technology ensures that every AI action can be traced to a real, authenticated person—who approved it, scoped it, and can revoke it.”

    The solution leverages open standards and technology that underpins the internet today. It supports transactional controls such as time limits, financial caps, functional scopes, and revocable keys, and integrates easily into decentralized ledgers or enterprise PKI infrastructures. This positions ZeroBiometrics as a key enabler of safe AI deployment in finance, healthcare, logistics, and government applications.

    By binding digital autonomy to real-world accountability, ZeroBiometrics isn’t just securing AI—it’s redefining digital authority for the post-password and Agentic AI driven world.

  • MIL-OSI: BAYC#7537 AI computing satellite was successfully launched! Web3 interstellar computing era officially started

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    LONDON, May 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — On May 14, 2025, 12:12 p.m. (Beijing Time), Adaspace successfully launched 12 satellites of the Space Computing Constellation 021 Mission from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center through the Long March 2D launch vehicle. The successful entry of the satellites into the intended orbit marks the successful launch of the world’s first space computing constellation, which will open a new chapter of the global “space computing era”. Space Computing Constellation 021 Mission is not only the first constellation of “Star-Compute” program initiated by Adaspace, but also the first constellation of “Three-Body Computing Constellation” of Zhejiang Lab. The constellation consists of 12 computing satellites in one orbit invested by different entities and developed by Adaspace. The launch and orbiting of BAYC#7537 computing satellite marks Web3’s transformation from the virtual economy to the space computing network.

    According to the introduction, the “protagonist” of this launch consists of 12 computing satellites in one orbit invested by different entities and developed by Adaspace, including Neijiang (Star Era-27), Neijiang High-Tech (Star Era-28), Taizhou (Star Era-29), Haikou (Star Era-30), Ma’anshan Intelligent Computing-1 (Star Era-31), Chongzhou (Star Era-32), Tiantie Technology (Star Era-33), BAYC #7573 (Star Era-34), Yukongzhe (Star Era-35), “Grand Neobay”(Star Era-36), Zhejiang-1 (Star Era-37) and Zhejiang-2 (Star Era-38). After the assembly of 12 satellites in one orbit, the on-orbit verification and application of the basic functions of space-based computing, such as chain building, networking and cloud formation, will be finished through interstellar laser high-speed interconnection, stable constellation networking and distributed computing management.

    What is a computing constellation? In the past, satellites were only used for communication, navigation and remote sensing. Computing satellites are defined as the fourth type of satellites, which will become the basis of the first three satellites, and then form a new network system called computing constellation through the interconnection of satellites.

    According to Wang Jian, academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering and director of Zhejiang Lab, the constellation can raise the computing power of a single satellite from level T to level P and realize interconnection between satellites like the Internet connects different computers together. “The construction of space computing constellation enables the single satellite to be of greater value and has far-reaching implications for the transformation of the aerospace industry.”

    “The primary mission of this launch is to realize the transformation from ‘computing on Earth’ to ‘computing in space’ for specific scenarios to meet the growing demand for space-based instant computing and to help China take the lead in building a space computing infrastructure in the world.” The relevant official of Adaspace said. In short, support computing power with space power.

    As a representative sign in the series, the holder of BAYC #7573 has repeatedly promoted the innovative application of AI. Naming the satellite after BAYC #7573 AI not only recognizes its cultural value, but also symbolizes the Web3 community’s deep involvement in cutting-edge technology. Both AI computing and Web3 have empowered the future.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Jeito Capital Leads a USD 65 million Financing in ReproNovo to Develop Transformational Treatments in Reproductive Medicine and Women’s Health

    • Proceeds from the financing will advance ReproNovo’s lead candidates RPN-001 (leflutrozole) and RPN-002 (nolasiban), through Phase 2 clinical trials in male infertility and in the treatment of adenomyosis and embryo implantation, respectively
    • In the context of increasing infertility across the world, this investment reflects Jeito’s interest in highly promising clinical-stage biopharma companies developing breakthrough innovations with strong value-creation potential for patients and society

    Paris, France, May 21, 2025 – Jeito Capital (“Jeito”), a global leading independent Private Equity fund dedicated to biopharma, announced today it is leading a USD 65 million (EUR 57 million1) Series A financing round in ReproNovo, a company dedicated to developing innovative treatments for reproductive medicine and women’s health.

    AXA IM Alts and M Ventures co-led the financing round alongside a syndicate of healthcare funds: Ysios Capital and ALSA Ventures.

    Ksenija Pavletic, Jeito Partner and Chief Commercial Officer with 25 years of experience in reproductive medicine and women’s health, will join ReproNovo’s Board of Directors.

    Founded in 2021, ReproNovo is developing novel approaches to address critical gaps in reproductive medicine and women’s health, including male and female infertility as well as uterine health. The company, led by a team of experts in this space – Jean Marie Duvall, Chief Executive Officer, Joan-Carles Arce, MD, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer and Medical Officer, and BingMei Hao, Chief Financial Officer – brings a proven track record in successful clinical development and commercial launches.

    Since its inception, ReproNovo has rapidly built a pipeline comprising two Phase 2 clinical-stage assets across three disease areas, and the company plans to use the proceeds from this financing to advance this pipeline across multiple programs:

    • With its lead candidate, RPN-001 (leflutrozole), the company will focus on the development of an oral therapy for male infertility due to low testosterone levels. Low testosterone is becoming more prevalent, including in younger men, highlighting the urgent need for an efficacious treatment option.​ This trend coincides with a broader decline in male reproductive health, now recognized as a major public health problem2.
    • RPN-002 (nolasiban), also orally administered therapy, is a first-in-class compound to manage adenomyosis, an overgrowth of endometrial tissue into the uterus that can result in severe menstrual bleeding and pain. Similar to endometriosis, this is a common gynecological condition, with recent imaging studies identifying features of adenomyosis in nearly one in four women undergoing gynecological evaluation3.

    RPN-002 will also be explored for improving success rates in assisted reproductive technologies (ART).

    The global decline in fertility rates, coupled with the rising incidence of male infertility (sperm counts have fallen by 50% to 60% over the last four decades4) and the significant health risks women endure during fertility treatments underscore the urgent and underserved need for innovative reproductive solutions that address both genders and these global challenges comprehensively.

    Through this investment, Jeito reaffirms its commitment to highly promising companies with transformational science that has the potential to deliver strong value for patients and society. By tackling male infertility and women’s health at a global scale, ReproNovo is addressing not only a significant patients’ concern but also a major societal issue.

    Dr. Rafaèle Tordjman, MD, PhD, Founder and CEO of Jeito Capital, said:
    “ReproNovo combines strong innovative potential, a seasoned team, and a clear ambition to address one of the most pressing global challenges of our time: declining birth rates. At Jeito, we are committed to advancing breakthrough innovations with significant value for both patients and society. This investment reflects that commitment. We are proud to support the acceleration of ReproNovo’s clinical development and help unlock its potential to become a future market leader.”

    Ksenija Pavletic, Partner and Chief Commercial Officer at Jeito Capital, added:
    “As approximately one in six people worldwide will face infertility issues, we are proud to support ReproNovo, whose commitment to advancing novel therapies in reproductive health aligns well with our focus on accelerating cutting-edge technologies and the commercialization of treatments with transformative benefits for patients. We are highly impressed by the ReproNovo team, whose members have a strong track record in this field, having brought a number of compounds successfully through clinical development and onto the market. Their deep understanding of the field will enable them to effectively address critical unmet needs that have a strong impact on society.”

    Jean Marie Duvall, Co-founder and CEO of ReproNovo, concluded:
