Around 370 Companists pledged to invest in the manufacturer of prescription dermatologicals
The pharmaceutical startup DERMAGO recently successfully closed its financing round on the private investor network Companisto and secured a total of around EUR 1.6 million in capital. Around 370 Companists and co-investors participated. The startup manufactures and distributes prescription drugs in the field of dermatology.
DERMAGO promotes access to new dermatological drugs and thus provides high social added value. DERMAGO markets its prescription drugs for skin diseases such as acne, neurodermatitis and genital warts worldwide via a distribution network of renowned international pharmaceutical companies.
The DERMAGO Group is the parent company of the three pharmaceutical companies Aresus Pharma, DEGODE Pharma and Skin Care Pharma. All three companies were merged into a group structure in 2021 in order to exploit synergies in sales, development, quality management and administration. The parent company DERMAGO has already completed its second financing round with Companisto.
The team around founder Sven Schimansky-Wabra will receive capital with the successfully completed financing round, which will be used for the expansion of the product portfolio, the further development of the company’s own pharmaceutical laboratory and the expansion of international sales. In addition, the DERMAGO team has received valuable support from the network through the participation of around 370 investors. This will enable the team to benefit from extensive knowledge and diverse experience in the future.
“I am very pleased that, together with Companisto, we have been able to attract additional investors to support us in our growth strategy. Many thanks to our investors for their trust and to Companisto for their professional support during the financing round. We will use the new capital primarily to advance our clinical trial for our drug Veregen ® in the indication actinic keratosis,” says Sven Schimansky-Wabra, CEO of DERMAGO, about the successful investment round and the cooperation with Companisto.
