4. Moderna Therapeutics

Year founded: 2010

VC money raised: $863.9 million

Valuation: $3 billion

About: Moderna is a biotech company whose research revolves around messenger RNA to develop treatments for oncology, infectious and rare diseases. The company holds the distinction of having raised the largest single round of VC funding ever for a biotech startup: $450 million last January.

While Moderna doesn’t yet have a single drug in human trials, the company has garnered the eye of venture capitalists because its revolutionary proposition is to help people create medicine within their own cells — leading to a massive variety of potential treatments that are faster to test and cheaper to buy.
