Sometimes, it takes weeks for our source to determine that a company has a social impact, a woman, minority or LGBTQ founder. When we discover an offering qualifies for our list, even if it is no longer new, we will include it. See the lists below.
Combating Drug Resistance: A New Class of Anticancer Drugs Takes Aim at Cancer’s Evasive Tactics

Most Fatal Cancers Are Drug-Resistant
Across our lifespans, approximately 1 in 9 men and 1 in 12 women will die of cancer. In 2022, this resulted in over 600,000 deaths. Most of these deaths occur because tumors become resistant to treatment. Resistance is the reason why even the most promising treatments stop working; it’s why cancers come back. It is seen across essentially all aggressive cancer types. Drug resistance is one of the greatest obstacles to improving cancer treatment outcomes.
A novel drug family, called ‘BRG drugs’, currently in development, works to overcome both intrinsic (innate to the tumor) and acquired (developed over time) resistance in tumors. This new drug family represents a major step forward in achieving a more durable treatment or cure—and a significant commercial opportunity.
A New Kind of Drug: Multi-Targeted Action
Most recently developed anticancer drugs, known as ‘targeted’ anticancer agents, are designed to hit one target; that is, a specific mutated protein or a key element or node in a single pathway. That approach can work—for a while. But cancer doesn’t rely on just one scheme. It rewires entire systems to survive.
BRG drugs deliver two active ingredients, both of which are FDA-approved when used as components of other drugs. These ingredients address the underlying biology that allows cancer cells to evade treatment. Early data suggest effectiveness against multiple tumor types, including those with limited therapeutic options such as lung cancer, castration-resistant prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, triple negative breast cancer, mesothelioma, pancreatic cancer, and myeloblastic leukemia. With resistance being a central failure point across nearly all standard-of-care regimens, the addressable market is both broad and underserved.
