Orasis Pharmaceuticals, a Herzliya, Israel-based ophthalmic pharmaceutical company focused on developing an innovative pharmaceutical solution for the treatment of presbyopia symptoms, closed a $30m Series C financing.
The round was co-led by new investor Bluestem Capital and returning investor Visionary Ventures, with participation from other returning investors Sequoia Capital, SBI (Japan) Innovation Ventures, Maverick Ventures Israel, LifeSci Venture Partners and additional investors. Tyler J. Stowater, partner and vice president of Bluestem Capital, will join the Orasis Board of Directors in conjunction with the financing.
