Celestial Therapeutics Inc. has raised $2.1M over 2 rounds; too few niche peers to rank its valuation yet.

Synthesized from the figures below est. — every claim rests on a number shown on this page. Valuation uses the biotech sector profile.

Analyst read est. — computed against this company's niche peers in the same era. Inputs shown; not a quoted figure.

Quiet
  • Last raise 22 mo ago; this sector typically re-raises about every 14 months.
  • Slightly overdue versus sector cadence.

Procedural diagnosis est. — rule-based common-sense checks over the filing pattern, issuer name, activity cadence, and surfaced operating evidence.

Recurring offering issuermedium confidence

Celestial Therapeutics Inc. behaves more like a recurring private-offering issuer than a conventional venture-backed operating company.

Issuer structure
Program-like
Frequent filings and follow-ons read more like a securities offering program than discrete startup rounds.
Lifecycle
6.3 yr record
Peak capital year was 2020 with $13.9M across 21 filings.
Market position
ahead of 29% of Biotechnology peers
Capital scale is ahead of 29% of Biotechnology peers; modeled value is above 8% of peers by modeled value. Large capital with mid-pack modeled value can signal an issuer/program profile rather than operating-company growth.
Valuation reliability
Lower applicability
Stage/dilution valuation models are weakest when the issuer is broad-sector, recurring, or vehicle-like.
Operating evidence
Sparse
No clear CEO/founder/principal role is surfaced, so operating-company confidence is lower.
Data quality
Needs review
Row-level filing totals differ from canonical totals, so amendment/superseded filtering should be checked.
What triggered this
  • 31 dated financing filings, averaging about 2 months apart.
  • No clearly named CEO/founder/principal role in the public records surfaced here.
  • No verified homepage on the profile yet.
  • Capital program peaked in 2020: $13.9M across 21 filings.
  • Largest single filing was $1.3M on 2020-03-31.
  • Filing rows sum to $19.2M, while canonical raised total is $2.1M; likely amendments/superseded rows are mixed into the detail view.
How to read the page
  • Read this less like a startup funding journey and more like a capital-raising program.
  • Stage-based valuation and peer labels have lower applicability for this pattern.
  • The more important signal is lifecycle: repeated filings ended years ago, so current activity needs outside confirmation.
  • Canonical filtering should be tightened before using row-level totals for diligence.

How it compares to the market

Benchmarked against 4291 companies in Biotechnology. Each bar is a median (the middle company, not an average — outliers don't skew it). Two yardsticks: real money raised (reported on Form D) and modeled value (our estimate est.). These are whole-sector medians across all stages, except the per-stage row.

Total raised — vs sector median (real $, all stages) 0.3× of median
This company$2.1M
Sector median$7.2M
Modeled value — vs sector median (estimate, all stages) 0.1× of median
This company$3.5M
Sector median$64.2M

Raised more than 29% of sector peers (real $). Modeled value above 8% of peers (estimate).
