COPENHAGEN, Denmark –  Tetra Pharm Technologies, a Danish Biotech company, secured €2M in its first round of funding led by Leafy Tunnel, a cannabis and psychedelics specialist European VC fund and other notable investors including Enexis, a Stockholm-based cannabis investment company.

“We exist to improve the lives of patients and their families, by formulating efficient drugs, with a low side-effect profile, at a fair price,” Co-Founder and CEO Martin Rose stated.

With this investment, the company said it hopes to initiate clinical trials with a new drug candidate whilst also expanding its operations in Europe.

The Leafy Tunnel team is aligned with the founders’ vision, and we look forward to seeing the company grow in the coming years,” Nikolay Tretiyakov and Bek Muslimov, Founding Partners at Leafy Tunnel, stated.
