Junevity has secured $10 million in seed funding led by Goldcrest Capital and Godfrey Capital to develop cell reset therapeutics for longevity. The company's RESET platform, based on Dr. Janine Sengstack's UCSF research, uses AI and human data to identify transcription factor targets and develop siRNA therapeutics.

The company's initial focus is on Type 2 diabetes, obesity, and frailty. Preclinical data shows promising results: their diabetes therapeutic improved glucose control without weight gain side effects, while their obesity candidate achieved 30% weight loss versus controls through fat loss while maintaining lean mass. Both treatments could potentially require dosing only once every 3-12 months.

The founding team includes CEO Dr. John Hoekman, CSO Dr. Janine Sengstack, and COO Rob Cahill. Junevity has exclusively licensed technology from UCSF and filed multiple composition-of-matter patents for its siRNA therapeutic candidates.
