Nice write up on Akili:
Less than two years after scoring its first FDA clearance, Akili Interactive is betting big on its digital therapeutic technology.
The Massachusetts-based company has signed a reverse-merger deal with Social Capital Suvretta Holdings Corp. I—a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) that completed a $220 million IPO last summer—to make its own public debut. Once the deal is complete, the combined company will operate under the Akili name and trade on the Nasdaq as “AKLI.”
At the close of the transaction, the newly public Akili is expecting to boast a total equity value of about $1 billion. The transaction is forecast to be finalized sometime around the middle of this year.

According to the startup, the SPAC deal will help ramp up the commercial launch of EndeavorRx, Akili’s FDA-cleared and CE marked program designed to improve attention function in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Plus, the proceeds from the transaction and Akili’s subsequent public debut will help speed up development of its other digital therapeutics to treat symptoms associated with a range of neuropsychiatric diseases including multiple sclerosis, autism, depression and more.
Those proceeds are expected to tally up to $412 million, including a $162 million private investment round from several new and existing backers that Akili is planning to close in the lead-up to the reverse merger.
The bulk of the private round, $100 million, will come from Social Capital, parent company of Akili’s SPAC partner, while the remaining $62 million has already been pledged by a group of investors that includes Averill Strategy, Apeiron Investment Group, Temasek, Polaris Partners, Evidity Health Capital, Jazz Venture Partners, Omidyar Technology Ventures and PureTech Health, which helped establish Akili in 2011.
RELATED: Akili expands its prescription video game portfolio with $37M offer for Tali's attention-improving tech
Akili’s EndeavorRx technology in 2020 became the first prescription video game cleared by the FDA. The system tasks children with ADHD between the ages of eight and 12 with working their way through multiple levels of an interactive game filled with sensory stimuli and motor challenges that have been clinically proven to activate the parts of the brain linked to attention.
Clinical trial results included in the FDA submission showed that playing the game—which relies on an internal algorithm to constantly adapt to fit each player’s needs and abilities—can alleviate ADHD symptoms, with about 50% of parents reporting improvements in their child’s day-to-day symptoms and nearly 60% saying the game improved attention.
Since garnering the groundbreaking FDA nod, Akili has proceeded on a path of rapid growth. Last May, it blew its own previous fundraising tally out of the water, closing a series D funding round worth $110 million. And the following August, it shelled out about a third of that amount to license a new portfolio of attention-improving digital therapeutics from Tali Digital.

Digital Medicine Leader Akili to List on Nasdaq Following Successful Business Combination with Social Capital Suvretta Holdings Corp. I
5:25 pm ET August 19, 2022 (BusinessWire) Print
--Total gross proceeds of more than $163 million will support launch of first FDA-cleared video game treatment and advancement of late-stage pipeline
Akili, a leading digital medicine company, today completed its previously announced business combination with Social Capital Suvretta Holdings Corp. I ("SCS") (Nasdaq: DNAA), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company. The newly formed company, Akili, Inc. ("Akili"), is expected to start trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") under the new ticker symbol "AKLI" on August 22, 2022.
Akili raised more than $163 million from the transaction, before deducting transaction expenses and advisory fees, which, together with cash on hand, the company expects will be sufficient to fund at least 24 months of business operations, excluding any contributions from EndeavorRx(R) revenues. Proceeds from the transaction will fund the commercial launch of EndeavorRx, a first-of-its-kind, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared and Conformite Europeenne (CE) Mark certified prescription digital therapeutic for pediatric attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (see full indication and safety information below), as well as potential expansion into additional ADHD patient populations. Proceeds will also support the advancement of the company's late-stage pipeline of product candidates designed to treat neuropsychiatric diseases, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD), multiple sclerosis (MS), and major depressive disorder (MDD). SCS shareholders approved the transaction at a general meeting on August 18, 2022.
Eddie Martucci, CEO of Akili, said: "Today's milestone reflects the combined efforts of the committed Akili team and SCS who together made this defining moment possible. Millions of people worldwide live with cognitive impairment without effective treatments. I am proud of our talented employees - leaders in neuroscience, entertainment and consumer technology - who are propelling Akili's innovative software-based therapeutics forward to deliver an engaging, immersive experience. I am extremely excited about what's ahead as we begin to scale and serve patients in need."
Chamath Palihapitiya, Chairman and CEO of SCS, commented: "With this milestone completed, Akili has a number of others ahead, including its upcoming commercial launch of EndeavorRx and a strong clinical pipeline of breakthrough digital therapeutic candidates that have the potential to treat a host of cognitive impairments. I look forward to working with Eddie and the Akili team as they enter this new and exciting chapter."
A commercial-stage company, Akili develops digital therapeutics that combine science and technology to address cognitive impairments in patients, representing a new category of software-based medicine that is designed to directly target brain function and is delivered through engaging consumer entertainment. Cognitive impairments - including inattention, poor concentration, memory loss, difficulties learning new skills, and difficulties with decision making - are in aggregate among the largest unmet medical needs and are increasingly recognized as contributing to or associated with dozens of chronic diseases and acute illnesses.
Scheduled for U.S. launch in the fourth quarter of 2022, EndeavorRx is the first-ever prescription video game and the first-ever FDA-cleared digital therapeutic indicated to improve attention function in children with ADHD (see full indication below). In addition, the company's patented and clinically validated Selective Stimulus Management Engine (SSME(TM)) has demonstrated proof-of-concept efficacy in controlled trials targeting attention and cognitive dysfunction in ASD, MS, and MDD.
Akili CEO and co-founder Eddie Martucci will continue to lead Akili's management team and serve on Akili's board. Chamath Palihapitiya, Chairman and CEO of SCS, will chair Akili's board.

EndeavorRx Indication and Overview
EndeavorRx is the first-and-only FDA-cleared treatment delivered through a video game experience. EndeavorRx is indicated to improve attention function as measured by computer-based testing in children ages 8 to 12 years old with primarily inattentive or combined-type ADHD, who have a demonstrated attention issue. Patients who engage with EndeavorRx demonstrate improvements in a digitally assessed measure Test of Variables of Attention (TOVA(R)) of sustained and selective attention and may not display benefits in typical behavioral symptoms, such as hyperactivity. EndeavorRx should be considered for use as part of a therapeutic program that may include clinician-directed therapy, medication, and/or educational programs, which further address symptoms of the disorder. EndeavorRx is available by prescription only. It is not intended to be used as a stand-alone therapeutic and is not a substitution for a child's medication. The most common side effect observed in children in EndeavorRx's clinical trials was a feeling of frustration, as the game can be quite challenging at times. No serious adverse events were associated with its use. EndeavorRx is recommended to be used for approximately 25 minutes a day, 5 days a week, over initially at least 4 consecutive weeks, or as recommended by your child's health care provider.
