Company profile
researched Aug 2026Theremia is a Paris-region deeptech company building an AI-powered platform for drug optimisation, initially focused on central nervous system (CNS) diseases in neurology and psychiatry. The platform integrates patient characteristics with drug pharmacological properties in multi-scale models in order to identify subgroups of responders, explain differences in effectiveness and safety across phenotypic and molecular scales, and produce optimised versions of drugs by adjusting parameters such as dosage, dosing frequency, galenic form, routes of administration and combinations. The company states its models analyse large-scale health data to understand, predict and prevent adverse drug reactions, taking into account individual differences such as gender, age and ethnicity.
The stated target indications include Parkinson's disease, depression, Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis, with a published pipeline that also lists migraine, chronic pain, PTSD, epilepsy and rare disease. Theremia frames its value proposition around two problems: the roughly 60% of patients said to discontinue CNS treatment, and the burden of adverse drug reactions — citing the French IATROSTAT pharmacovigilance study, which found 8.5% of hospitalised patients were admitted due to an adverse drug reaction, with a 1.3% mortality rate in those cases and 16% deemed preventable, extrapolated to approximately 212,500 hospital admissions and 2,760 deaths per year in France. Company writing also discusses methodological work on the Win Ratio, a composite-endpoint method introduced in 2012 and recommended by the FDA and EMA, and how it can be adapted for heterogeneous populations.
The company reports access to over one million granular, longitudinal individual patient records and an interdisciplinary team spanning chemistry, molecular pharmacology, modelling, physiopathology and neuroscience, with algorithms validated with practitioners across prospective cohorts. Reported headcount was around ten people at the time of its seed round in November 2024.
Founding story
Co-founded in 2024 by Iris Maréchal (CEO), a former Boston Consulting Group consultant with a background in mathematics and public health who was previously a Founder in Residence at Entrepreneur First, and Chloé Geoffroy (CTO), a pharmacist, engineer and neuroscientist who leads scientific research. One secondary source describes the company as originating from the founders' view of AI's potential in pharmaceutical research, combining Maréchal's consulting experience with Geoffroy's scientific expertise.
Business model
B2B: Theremia sells or partners with pharmaceutical and biotech drug developers, providing AI-generated pharmacological insights, responder-subgroup identification and optimised drug parameters. Sources describe it as supporting R&D efficiency, clinical-trial design, drug repurposing and patent-extension/lifecycle strategies, and helping companies generate real-world data to support regulatory and payer discussions. Public sources do not disclose pricing or contract structure.
Not disclosed in the available sources; the company is described as working with pharmaceutical developers and establishing public-private partnerships, but no pricing, licensing or service-fee structure is stated.
Traction
Raised a €3 million seed round in November 2024 led by Eurazeo and Salica Investments. Reported around ten employees, mainly from technical and scientific backgrounds, at that time. Stated access to over one million individual patient records and algorithms validated with practitioners across prospective cohorts. Won the Innovation and Mental Health Trophy in Paris on 31 March 2025. Announced conference presence at the 2026 World Parkinson Congress and the 2026 BIO-International Convention. No customer names, revenue or contract counts are disclosed in the sources.
Latest developments
Following the March 2025 Innovation and Mental Health Trophy, the company's website promotes a new offering described as pharmacological insights predicting where a drug asset is most likely to work before spend is committed, and lists a broadened CNS pipeline (rare disease, migraine, Alzheimer's, chronic pain, depression, PTSD, Parkinson's, epilepsy). Announced participation in the 2026 World Parkinson Congress with a poster on automated levodopa dose individualization and in the 2026 BIO-International Convention at booth 3325.

Market position
Early-stage venture-backed precision-medicine company positioned between AI drug development, causal inference in healthcare and real-world evidence. It differentiates by focusing specifically on CNS indications and on interindividual pathophysiological variation rather than single biomarkers or genomic subgroups. Investors cited its algorithmic approach rooted in real-world data as complementary to traditional theoretical and clinical methods. Sources name no direct competitors.
Sources emphasise: a focus on modelling interindividual pathophysiological differences to tailor dose, frequency and formulation for population subgroups rather than biomarker- or genomics-based stratification; stated unique access to over one million high-quality granular longitudinal patient records; an interdisciplinary team spanning chemistry, molecular pharmacology, modelling, physiopathology and neuroscience; close collaboration with practitioners specialised in each pathology so that algorithms capture disease determinants; and dual applicability to clinical-trial design and to repurposing/lifecycle extension of existing assets.
Technology
AI and machine-learning models combined with multi-scale pharmacological modelling that link phenotypic and molecular scales. Capabilities described include detection of responder and non-responder patient subgroups, prediction of adverse reactions using demographic and physiological covariates, and optimisation of pharmacological parameters (dosage, frequency, galenic form, route of administration, drug combinations). The company also describes causal-inference-oriented outcome methodology work around the Win Ratio for heterogeneous populations. Inputs include a stated corpus of over one million granular longitudinal individual patient records and real-world data; models are described as validated with practitioners across prospective cohorts. The public website is built on Framer and hosted on AWS with Cloudflare DNS.
Go-to-market
Direct partnership with biotech and pharmaceutical developers, invited via a 'Book a Demo' / 'Partner with us' motion on its website, complemented by public-private partnerships with medical institutes and clinicians across CNS pathologies. Visibility is built through industry conferences and ecosystem programmes, including a booth at the BIO-International Convention 2026 in San Diego with Business France and France Techbio, and a poster at the 2026 World Parkinson Congress in Phoenix on automated levodopa dose individualization.
Pharmaceutical and biotech drug developers working on central nervous system indications, along with clinical teams and academic/medical institutes involved in validation partnerships. The end beneficiaries described are patients with neurological and psychiatric conditions including Parkinson's disease, depression, Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis.
Geography
Headquartered in the Paris region of France; one directory lists an address in Levallois-Perret (Hauts-de-Seine, Île-de-France). Ecosystem support and affiliations cited include Bpifrance, Agoranov, Station F, Medicen, Entrepreneur First, Better Angle, the Female Founders Fellowship, Deep Tech Pioneers, and the DayOne incubator in Switzerland. Planned commercial outreach includes events in the United States (San Diego and Phoenix) in 2026.
History
Founded in 2024 by Iris Maréchal and Chloé Geoffroy (one directory lists a 2023 creation date and one profile shows Maréchal as Founder in Residence at Entrepreneur First from October 2023 and co-founder/CEO from January 2024). The company announced a €3 million seed round on 7 November 2024 led by Eurazeo and Salica Investments with participation from Entrepreneur First, Tiny VC and Better Angle plus angel investors, intended to expand its team of nine scientists and strengthen its algorithms through medical-institute partnerships. It began with work on Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease and subsequently extended its validated algorithms to major depressive disorder, receiving the Innovation and Mental Health Trophy in March 2025.
Risks & controversies
Public sources contain conflicting basic data: founding year is given as 2024 in most sources but 2023 in two directories, and one directory lists an implausible headcount band of 201-500 employees while another lists 2-10 and the funding announcement states around ten. Investor lists also differ across sources (Eurazeo/Salica/Entrepreneur First/Tiny VC/Better Angle in the announcement versus Entrepreneur First/Hambro Perks/Motier Ventures and named angels in one aggregator). No clinical validation results, peer-reviewed outcomes, customer contracts or regulatory approvals are disclosed. The company's own content acknowledges obstacles to AI in mental health, including sparse real-world data on 15-28 year-olds, fragmented and inconsistent datasets, limited visibility of AI impact to clinicians, and limited cross-disciplinary collaboration.
