Nome is the Operating System for Personalized Therapies™. Where traditional pharmaceutical infrastructure was built for mass-market drugs, Nome provides the coordination layer that rare disease programs require: AI-driven genomic assessment, regulatory navigation, researcher and manufacturer matching, and end-to-end program management — all in one platform. Nome serves as a tech-enabled service company sitting between the patient and the clinic. For a patient or family, Nome delivers a free therapy eligibility assessment in 1–2 weeks, followed by an execution-ready action plan. For clinicians and foundations, Nome functions as an intelligent scientific program manager — handling the orchestration complexity that has historically made personalized drug development inaccessible outside of elite academic medical centers. The platform is modality-agnostic, with current focus on antisense oligonucleotides and gene therapies. Nome also operates as a preclinical CRO, offering target design, toxicology studies, and pre-clinical manufacturing services for rare genetic diseases. Founded by Steven Ringel — a rare disease patient, former Sema4, GeneDx, and Tempus operator, and founder of the Kizuna Foundation (foundation to develop retinal gene therapies) — Nome emerged from stealth in October 2025 backed by Twelve Below, Refactor Capital, and Inflect Health. | | | 1 - 10 | 2025 | $2,700,000 |

We know that drug development is both an art and a science. The work we do is incredibly technical, intentional, and specific, but there is an art to it - because we must leave room for creativity, innovation and spontaneity. Murals are paintings that transform overlooked or unused spaces - creating something impactful and meaningful. There remains many overlooked opportunities in cancer drug development. This is what inspires us. Our mission is simple, to create novel immunotherapies that can change patients’ lives so they can get back to what matters most - living. Mural Oncology is leveraging its industry-leading protein engineering platform to revolutionize cytokine-based immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer. Immunotherapies have been transformative for some people living with cancer, but unfortunately many patients still do not benefit - either because they are ineligible for treatment or they do not respond well to current therapies. We leverage our expertise in cytokine biology, immune cell modulation and our protein engineering capabilities to develop first and novel immunotherapies. Our goal is to deliver meaningful, clinical benefit across a wide range of cancers, including tumor types where immunotherapies have previously not been effective. Mural Oncology is developing a portfolio of programs to broaden the potential and reach of cytokine-based immunotherapies for the treatment of cancers.
