Gateway is an emerging privately held start - up addressing hearing loss and tinnitus. Incubated with BioGenerator in St. Louis, Gateway builds on research and clinical collaborations across several academic institutions including Washington University, Northeast Ohio Medical University and Harvard University. Its founders are scientific and clinical leaders in the field. Gateway has built a comprehensive research, discovery, and clinical development platform for new therapeutics to treat tinnitus and noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). The platform is highly leveraged by federal funding, cumulatively some $30m of research by the scientific founder, and $12m in translational funding, including a Phase II hearing loss clinical trial funded by the U.S. Army. The Company has raised no equity capital to date.
