Araceli Biosciences Adds Investor to $4.5 Million Round

Nov 12, 2026
Drug discovery imaging company Araceli Biosciences said Jeff Swickard has joined the investors in its recently closed $4.5 million financing.

Araceli Biosciences, which makes high-throughput cellular imaging systems for drug discovery, said Jeff Swickard has joined the investors in its recently closed $4.5 million financing, the company said in a press release. Araceli projects its 2026 revenue at six times the level of two years ago.

Its Endeavor platform helps researchers monitor how human cells respond to drug compounds, supporting the shift toward New Approach Methodologies that replace some animal testing with human cell-based assays. Araceli says the work fits pharmaceutical companies' move to a tech-forward, AI-driven approach to drug discovery, and that 10 of the world's top 20 drug makers use its technology.

The Tigard, Oregon company plans to launch consumable products for its installed base, with a broader rollout in 2027.
