Overview


Bringing Hope to Communities Through Tech-Powered Biopharma


iMBP is developing a revolutionary approach to drug discovery to help people live longer, healthier, and happier lives with their loved ones. Our founder, Chairman, and CEO Dr. Urban A. Kiernan, Ph.D. is a seasoned BioTech leader with decades of industry business and scientific research experience. However, his passion is what drives him beyond what any academic or work experience could ever afford him.


"The feeling of helplessness I experienced when my first wife died from cancer was devastating. Then, a single Dad with two little girls, the world turned upside-down. From this pain, I recognized the utopic potential the biopharma industry has to offer... and that is the power to keep families together... for just one more... one more memory to hold onto. You cannot put a price tag on that. This is my passion and this is why I created iMBP."

– Dr. Urban A. Kiernan –

Husband, Father, Founder & CEO of iMBP



The Problem & Our solution


Harnessing the Power of TechBio to Improve Drug Discovery & Development

Today’s developmental process for new, lifesaving drugs is complex, expensive, and time-consuming. The current industry solution is to simply spend more money, resulting in over-expensive therapeutics with marginal benefits. Ultimately, the deficiencies of this system places the cost burden on the people who need these therapeutic solutions most.



Our Solution was the development of iPlatform™, our proprietary computational approach that uses in-silico therapeutic discovery and molecular design to improve upon traditional biotechnology. This creates both economic and time-saving advantages to drug discovery, allowing for life-saving solutions to potentially reach the clinic faster and more affordably. This is the value that TechBio offers to you and your loved ones. Enabled through our partner Amazon Web Services (AWS), iPlatform™ is rapidly evolving and already producing drug asset leads for the expansion of the iMBP drug pipeline. 



the market & Our Traction


Rapid Development & Progress in Multiple Massive Markets

Our drug asset efforts are currently focused in three primary areas: metabolic disease, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative disease (Alzheimer’s Disease).



Our TechBio approach has allowed iMBP to achieve multiple milestones normally not experienced in BioTech companies until much later in life, including:


  • Two partnership agreements with Ligand Pharmaceuticals/OmniAb for drug asset development
  • A partnership agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS) for iPlatform™ development
  • Acceptance of iMBP into the McDermott Wills and Emory LEAP program for corporate legal counsel
  • Raised over $1,100,000 in total funding to date
  • An issued U.S. patent for proprietary therapeutic methodology (US/9,783,600)
  • Five established disease therapeutic asset programs, with four additional programs in preparation to go online
  • Preparation of first technology and two additional method IP set for provisional filing in December 2022
  • Assembled group of world renowned and experienced advisors and executive team members

CEO at Ligand Pharmaceuticals

Wrapping Up 2024 for iMBP

During this holiday season, we extend warm wishes to you and your loved ones. As we look back on the past year, we at iMetabolic Biopharma are proud to be at the forefront of a medical revolution.  

Our mission is clear: to tackle the growing crisis of obesity-related comorbidities head-on. We're pioneering the future of healthcare with our groundbreaking TechBio AI technology, a tool with the potential to revolutionize the field. This proprietary approach doesn't just enhance the discovery and development of therapeutics—it redefines them.

 Your support is crucial as we transform the landscape of medicine, one innovative solution at a time. Visit our website to sign up for our newsletter to follow our developments and latest news. We invite you to follow us on social media to stay informed about our innovative solutions. May your holidays be filled with joy, love, and good health for you and your families. 

If you have not been following the company since the close of the campaign, there have been significant advancements made.   We have included selected 2024 highlights below.

📢 iMetabolic Biopharma Corporation (iMBP) has received its second Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH)  


We are excited to share that iMetabolic Biopharma Corporation (iMBP) has received its second Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This Phase 1 grant, which is funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), will support our innovative drug program aimed at treating atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), a leading cause of heart attacks and strokes. Our use of the iPlatform™ technology has allowed us to develop a pipeline of promising drug candidates. One of these candidates, the iMBP-001 asset, is a new multidomain recombinant fusion protein that offers unique therapeutic specificity and a novel approach focusing on reducing lipoprotein particles. Dr. Urban Kiernan, our founder and CEO, emphasizes the urgent need for innovative strategies in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, particularly as the obesity epidemic continues to escalate. Traditional cholesterol-lowering treatments have proven insufficient in tackling this complex issue, which is why we are excited about the potential of our therapeutic innovations, especially with the backing of this NIH grant.

We encourage you to visit Yahoo Finance and read the full press release to delve deeper into our groundbreaking efforts. This ongoing momentum not only enhances the iMBP mission but also positions us as a key player in the investor community.

 As we continue to forge new paths, we invite you to join us on this transformative journey that promises to advance health outcomes and create significant value for our stakeholders.

The Decoding Health Podcast with Dr. Urban A. Kiernan


Dr. Kiernan pledged any views of this episode on YouTube to be donated to the Hundley Foundation.

 As a part of iMBP’s 2024 outreach campaign, Dr. Kiernan has launched the Decoding Health Podcast which airs new episodes every Monday and Thursday of each week.  You may initially question the value of such a media presence however, it allows Dr. Kiernan to highlight science, key team and community members, and participate in cause-based community action. The Decoding Health Podcast was fortunate to have Mr. Brett Hundley in for an interview. A UCLA Bruins superstar who spent 8 seasons in the NFL, Brett has now turned entrepreneur, but more importantly, is the Chairman of the Hundley Foundation. This is a charitable organization to help epilepsy patients and their families.  Brett discusses the struggle his family endured and how the creation of the Hundley Foundation can make a positive impact.

Please help by making this episode go viral. This is the easiest donation you will ever do. Just Subscribe to the Decoding Health Podcast, watch the episode (even if only in part), and tell your friends. I hope this episode enhances awareness of this terrible disease. 

iMBP in Health and Wellness


Also through the Decoding Health Podcast, Dr. Kiernan has been able to highly his knowledge base and expertise in other industries.  He appeared on the IGNITE Coaching Series by Coach360, a premier health and wellness education brand taking the fitness market by storm. With the explosion of the use of Wegovy and Zepbound for weight loss, Dr. Kiernan participated on the IGNITE Coaching Series by Coach360 back in September where he weighed in on the drug’s modes of action, areas of clinical success, and concerns to watch for in the future.
 
 As iMBP’s proprietary multi-domain recombinant fusion protein class of therapeutics have a bioactive mimetic peptide component, Dr. Kiernan is becoming more widely recognized as a leader in the field to provide an unbiased education as to how these new weight loss drugs will impact the health and wellness field as well as society as a whole.

iMBP in the News


We are honored to share that iMBP was featured in the Venture Beat alongside several other inspiring startup companies that are making a difference today.

The VentureBeat is a high-profile investor publication that shows that iMBP is getting noticed. We have also issued our press release formally announcing our second NIH SBIR grant award. Featured in Yahoo Finance, this announcement is being seen by thousands of readers around the world. Again, slowly but surely the iMBP story is building within the investor community.

Is my understanding correct that you use ML to discover therapies? And do you plan on licensing out therapies once you discover them or bringing them to market on your own? Also, do you plan on letting other companies use iMPB and taking a percentage of revenue they generate or something like that?

Good afternoon, I'm considering investing. I'm curious on other diseases that you are looking into to help cure/sustain, like Parkinson's and P.S.P. (Progressive Supranuclear Palsy). My Dad passed away from P.S.P. recently and I worked with a well-known actor who's wife has had Parkinson's for over 20 years along with Michael J. Fox. Are these two areas also being looked into? It's imperative that we find what's causing these diseases and curing them. Another one to look into is Leptomeningeal Carcinomatosis, which took my girlfriend back in 2017. It was her 4th type of cancer that she endured. Thank you in advance for answering my questions. ~ Jason

I saw that iMBP applied to two NIH grants for Alzheimer's Disease. Could you explain to me how this helps the company. Are these loans, like SBA? Are they investments? Sorry for not fully understanding, but this is the first biotechnology investment I have ever considered.

FAQS

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.

With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000 are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, they are limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.

At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.

Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.

StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.

For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.

For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancellation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancellation policy. You may find the company’s cancellation policy in the company’s offering circular.

Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.

Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to be sent back to the account associated with the investment.

Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements. To learn more about Regulation Crowdfunding, click here, and for Regulation A+, click here.

Investing in private company securities is not suitable for all investors. An investment in private company securities is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. It should only be considered a long-term investment. You must be prepared to withstand a total loss of your investment. Private company securities are also highly illiquid, and there is no guarantee that a market will develop for such securities. Each investment also carries its own specific risks, and you should complete your own independent due diligence regarding the investment. This includes obtaining additional information about the company, opinions, financial projections, and legal or other investment advice. Accordingly, investing in private company securities is appropriate only for those investors who can tolerate a high degree of risk and do not require a liquid investment. See additional general disclosures here.

StartEngine Marketplace (“SE Marketplace”) is a website operated by StartEngine Primary, LLC (“SE Primary”), a broker-dealer that is registered with the SEC and a member of FINRA and the SIPC.

StartEngine Secondary (“SE Secondary”) is our investor trading platform. SE Secondary is an SEC-registered Alternative Trading System (“ATS”) operated by SE Primary that matches orders for buyers and sellers of securities. It allows investors to trade shares purchased through Regulation A+, Regulation Crowdfunding, or Regulation D for companies who have engaged StartEngine Secure LLC as their transfer agent. The term “Rapid,” when used in relation to transactions on SE Marketplace, specifically refers to transactions that are facilitated on SE Secondary, This is because, unlike with trades on the StartEngine Bulletin Board (“SE BB”), trades on SE Secondary are executed the moment that they are matched.

StartEngine Bulletin Board (“SE BB”) is a bulletin board platform on which users can indicate to each other their interest to buy or sell shares of private companies that previously executed Reg CF or Reg A offerings not necessarily through SE Primary. As a bulletin board platform, SE BB provides a venue for investors to access information about such private company offerings and connect with potential sellers. All investment opportunities on SE BB are based on indicated interest from sellers and will need to be confirmed. Even if parties express mutual interest to enter into a trade on SE BB, a trade will not immediately result because execution is subject to additional contingencies, including among others, effecting of the transfer of the shares from the potential seller to the potential buyer by the issuer and/or transfer agent. SE BB is distinct and separate from SE Secondary. SE Secondary facilitates the trading of securities by matching orders between buyers and sellers and facilitating executions of trades on the platform. By contrast, under SE BB, SE Primary assists with the facilitation of a potential resulting trade off platform including, by among other things, approaching the issuer and other necessary parties in relation to the potential transaction. The term “Extended”, when used in relation to transactions on SE Marketplace denotes that these transactions are conducted via SE BB, and that these transactions may involve longer processing times compared to SE Secondary for the above-stated reasons.

Even if a security is qualified to be displayed on SE Marketplace, there is no guarantee an active trading market for the securities will ever develop, or if developed, be maintained. You should assume that you may not be able to liquidate your investment for some time or be able to pledge these shares as collateral.
