Peppermint Venture Partners et al. back CAP-CMV

Peppermint Venture Partners invested via its new Charité Biomedical Fund. Additional investors include NRW.Bank, Creathor Venture, KfW as well as private investors.

The round provides the basis for a larger financing round in 2014 to advance the program into the clinical development stage.
