9 Mio. € Seed Pre-Product: Krebs per Shuttle-Technologie behandeln – Marcus Kostka (iDEL Therapeutics)

from Startup Insider · host Jan Thomas, Marcus Kostka, Carl Fischer, Zoe Angelis, Lucas Lehmann

Wie bringt man einen Wirkstoff dorthin, wo ihn keine Therapie bisher hingebracht hat – direkt ins Innere einer Krebszelle? Marcus Kostka, CEO und Mitgründer von iDEL Therapeutics, hat dafür eine Shuttle-Technologie entwickelt, die große Moleküle gezielt in Krebszellen schleust. Im März 2026 sammelte er dafür 9 Mio. Euro Seed ein – Pre-Product, ohne klinische Daten. Im Startup Insider Spotlight mit Jan Thomas erklärt er, was Frühphasen-Investoren in der Biotech wirklich überzeugt. Über den Gast Marcus Kostka ist CEO und Mitgründer von iDEL Therapeutics GmbH in Dortmund. Der promovierte Molekularbiologe studierte Biologie an den Universitäten Münster und Mainz und verbrachte über zwei Jahrzehnte bei Boehringer Ingelheim – zuletzt fünf Jahre als Venture Fund Partner. Mit iDEL Therapeutics gründet er sein drittes Biotech-Unternehmen. Zuvor baute er Abalos Therapeutics von null auf und half, MODAK mit zwei auslizenzierte Molekülen erfolgreich zu entwickeln. iDEL arbeitet an einer proprietären „Direct Cytosolic Transfer"-Technologie, die Wirkstoffmoleküle direkt in Krebszellen transportieren soll – und schloss im März 2026 eine Seed-Finanzierung von 9 Mio. Euro unter der Führung von BiomedVC ab.
