The company engages in direct partnerships for the development and commercialization of its proprietary therapeutic agents, such as NAV-001 and NAV-006, which are integral to their offerings. The financial transactions typically involve milestone payments associated with clinical trial advancements and potential royalties on product sales upon market approval.

As Navrogen continues to progress its pipeline, the company is positioned to capitalize on revenue streams from both product sales and collaborative agreements within the biotechnology sector.

In August 2021, Navrogen, Inc. raised USD 3. 00 mn in Seed funding led by Tellus BioVentures.
