# Thrive Capital, Alphabet To Lead Isomorphic Labs $2 Billion Fundraising Goal

Earlier this year, the company announced that it had entered into an agreement to expand its research collaboration with Novartis, adding up to three additional research programs. Isomorphic has also entered into major strategic partnerships with Eli Lilly and Johnson and Johnson.

In March 2025, Isomorphic announced it had raised $600 million in its first-ever external funding round, led by Thrive Capital. Other investors included **Google Ventures** and Alphabet, the New York Times had reported at the time.

Last month, former Disney CEO **Bob Iger** rejoined Thrive as an advisor, working with the company's investment staff and portfolio founders.
