Arix Bioscience is conducting a strategic review that could include winding down the UK-based venture capital firm. Arix said it is evaluating its investment strategies and its policies around allocating capital and returns to shareholders, and it is also considering “a tax-efficient wind-down of the company,” the VC’s board announced Thursday in a securities filing . The firm touts a dozen biotech companies in its portfolio, including Takeda-backed Ensoma, Evommune, Aura Biosciences and Disc Medicine, which went public last year via a reverse merger with Gemini Therapeutics. Evommune announced in April it raised $50 million in a Series B, with Arix co-leading the round.
