Hesperos, Inc (HESP) Files IPO Registration Statement

Hesperos, Inc (NASDAQ: HESP) has filed for a proposed IPO.

The company describes itself as: "Hesperos, Inc., operating as a Contract Research Organization (“CRO”) has developed a disruptive technology that provides safety and efficacy testing of chemicals and novel therapeutics for the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries for drug discovery and development using its Human-on-a-Chip® multi-organ, microphysiological system. We are a socially-conscious company that uses our non-invasive, serum-free, multi-organ chip platform (Human-on-a-Chip) systems to provide pre-clinical analytical services with the goal of accelerating drug discovery and general toxicology testing and reducing use of animal testing. Our services primarily focus on systems composed of human cells representing select organs, which can be configured based on customer needs. Our technology and services provide research teams the opportunity to determine how the human body will respond when new drug compounds or drug combinations are introduced for both efficacy and toxicity in the same platform that interlinks organs or organ systems, including: heart, liver, lung, brain, skin, muscle, kidney, gastrointestinal (“GI”) tract, immune, neuromuscular and more. We also offer four basic validated Human-on-a-Chip systems for disease modeling and drug testing: Heart-Liver two-organ model, Neuromuscular (NMJ) junction two-organ model, Heart-Liver-Cancer three-organ model and Heart-Liver Skeletal Muscle Neuron four-organ model. Our platform can target rare diseases (of the over 7,000 known rare diseases, approximately 95 percent have no treatment because of a lack of animal models). We have licensed patents from Cornell University and the University of Central Florida to support our systems."

ThinkEquity will serve as sole underwriter.
