Until (fka Cradle) is a moonshot company building a “pause button” for biology. Our near-term focus is organ-scale reversible cryopreservation: preserving donated organs at subzero temperatures without ice formation, then rewarming them uniformly for transplant. By solving this grand challenge, we’re laying the foundation for whole-body reversible cryopreservation, giving patients a bridge to future cures.

Data Quality
Data: MediumUntil Labs presents a strong upside opportunity driven by its pioneering technology in reversible organ cryopreservation, addressing a massive unmet medical need.
Last updated: March 10, 2026
Until Labs successfully navigates clinical trials and gains FDA approval for initial organ types, demonstrating significantly extended viability for donor organs. This breakthrough technology unlocks a new, expanded market for transplantation, driving substantial early revenue and justifying a $1.5B+ valuation by 2028.
Until Labs makes steady progress in R&D and early-stage clinical development, securing additional funding rounds. While initial market penetration is slower than anticipated due to regulatory timelines and adoption challenges, the technology proves viable for specific high-value use cases, leading to a $750M valuation by 2028.
The complex scientific and regulatory hurdles prove more challenging than anticipated, leading to significant delays or failure in clinical trials. Existing organ preservation technologies improve, reducing the urgency for Until's solution, resulting in a down round or limited market traction, and a valuation decline to $75M or less, severely impacting common stock value.
Preference Stack Risk
highInvestors hold $106M in liquidation preferences. In an exit at the estimated $375M valuation, common shareholders would effectively participate in $269M of value after preferences are paid.
Dilution Risk
highAs a Series A, pre-clinical company with very high capital intensity, Until Labs will likely require multiple significant funding rounds, leading to substantial future dilution for common shareholders.
Secondary Liquidity
noneAs an early-stage, privately held company, there is currently no active secondary market or tender offers for employee equity.
