NewLimit, a startup that aims to increase how long people can live a healthy life by genetically programming their cells, has raised a $130 million Series B led by Kleiner Perkins.
New investors Nat Friedman, Daniel Gross, and Khosla Ventures also invested, as did returning backers Founders Fund, Dimension Capital, Elad Gil, Garry Tan, Patrick Collison, and others. The fundraise comes two years after the company raised a $40 million Series A.
Founded over four years ago by Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong (pictured above), former GV partner Blake Byers, and stem cell professor Jacob Kimmel, NewLimit claims it has made significant progress toward developing treatments that can restore youthful characteristics to aged cells.
