Pictor Holdings Inc., a global targeted proteomic platform company, is celebrating its first anniversary of opening its U.S. headquarters in Carlsbad, California. In its first year, Pictor has achieved significant commercial and operational milestones, including expanding its product menu to seven commercial off-the-shelf products, securing four strategic partnerships (one with a top 20 global pharmaceutical company and another with Disease Research Limited in New Zealand), and completing a $5M pre-Series A convertible note. The company also expanded its Carlsbad facility with a purpose-built lab and strengthened its U.S. leadership team by welcoming Terence Kelly as COO and Jim Shannon as CFO. Pictor's platform analyzes up to 20 protein targets in a single sample, offering a faster and more cost-efficient alternative to traditional testing. The company is now targeting a U.S. Series A funding round of up to $30 million to further scale its operations, expand its team and patent portfolio, and advance translational studies.
