Austin’s 5 Largest Tech Funding Rounds Totaled $178M in September
Summary
Kizen, a no-code enterprise software company, has developed a sales CRM platform that helps align teams while automating up to 10 hours of non-selling tasks per week. TAU Systems, which was spun out of the University of Texas at Austin, is developing smaller, more affordable particle accelerators that could be as small as a desk or as large as 20 to 30 meters. These particle accelerators can produce X-ray free-electron lasers (XFEL), which allow researchers to perform molecular or atomic analysis in the fields of biotech, chemistry or materials science. Colossal Biosciences, a biotech startup that aims to bring back the woolly mammoth and Tasmanian tiger from extinction, launched Form Bio after identifying a gap in the life sciences software market. The new company raised a $30 million Series A round to grow its AI-based software that helps life scientists manage large datasets, execute workflows and collaborate with colleagues.
