MOBILion Systems Inc. Announces $60 Million Series C Financing Round Led by D1 Capital Partners to Expand Commercial Activities and Accelerate Product Development

Chadds Fords, PA. — MOBILion Systems, Inc., a pioneer in fast, efficient, high-resolution instrumentation for biomarker discovery, diagnostics and biotherapeutic drug characterization, today announced the close of a $60 million Series C financing round. The round was led by D1 Capital Partners with the remaining funds contributed by existing investors aMoon, Agilent Technologies (NYSE:A), IP Group, Hostplus and Cultivation Capital.

The funding comes on the heels of the recent launch of MOBILion’s first commercial High-Resolution Ion Mobility (HRIM) product, MOBIE®, which, as demonstrated in recent peer reviewed publications, addresses characterization challenges faced during biopharmaceutical drug development and quality monitoring. MOBIE® provides faster, easier and more complete analysis of multiple critical quality assays to accelerate biotherapeutic drug development and significantly enhance protein characterization capabilities that affect product quality, safety and efficacy. Proceeds will be used to scale the commercialization of MOBIE® to deliver improved biologic therapeutic characterization to the broader biopharma industry and advance product development for expansion into bioprocessing and multiomic biomarker discovery markets.

“We believe MOBILion is uniquely positioned to deliver rich biological insights to the biopharma industry,” said Alex Wagner, Analyst at D1 Capital Partners. “We are impressed by the team’s vision for the broad application of its platform technology and look forward to supporting the company as it continues to develop and commercialize novel ion mobility products.”

“We are thrilled to add the support of D1 Capital Partners to expand our commercial reach and accelerate activities to bring MOBIE® and High-Resolution Ion Mobility Mass Spectrometry based workflows into emerging markets such as cell and gene therapy and discovery-omics,” says CEO Dr. Melissa Sherman. “We are excited by the validation of MOBIE’s capabilities to streamline protein characterization workflows. However, we are only scratching the surface of opportunity as we are commercializing a platform technology that provides unprecedented simplicity, speed and resolution to separate and identify even the most challenging clinically significant molecules that other instruments fail to detect. Working with a premier investor like D1 positions us well to drive continued progress in biopharma and advance growth initiatives to provide deeper insights with the reliability, speed and efficiency our customers seek.”‍
