Neumirna Therapeutics has been awarded the 2025 Shark Tank Investment Prize by the Epilepsy Foundation, receiving a $200,000 investment from the NeuroImpact Fund. The award recognizes Neumirna’s RNA-based platform as one of the most promising innovations for improving the lives of people with drug-resistant epilepsy.
The award followed a live pitch at the Epilepsy Therapies and Diagnostics Development (ETDD) Symposium in Leesburg, Virginia. Neumirna’s CEO, Dr. Janine Erler, presented our platform to a panel of leading clinical experts, industry executives, and investors.
The Epilepsy Foundation’s Shark Tank Competition highlights transformative ideas in treatment, care, and community impact. This year, the program introduced a dual-award structure, offering both a Community Award and an Investment Prize. Neumirna was selected for the top-tier investment category, reflecting broad recognition of its potential to shift the treatment landscape for epilepsy.
