Trinity Financing Investments Hosts Investor Lunch Featuring Rakovina Therapeutics (TSXV: RKV.V | OTC: RKVTF)

Sep 16, 2025

5 min read


We had the pleasure of hosting Rakovina Therapeutics for dinner in September. Jeffrey Bacha, Executive Chairman, shared the company’s vision for applying artificial intelligence to accelerate the discovery and development of new cancer therapies. His presentation highlighted Rakovina’s Deep Docking and Enki AI platforms, which are designed to identify and optimize inhibitors of DNA damage response (DDR) targets. These programs aim to create next generation therapies for hard to treat cancers by improving potency, metabolic stability, and central nervous system penetration. Rakovina enters the second half of 2025 with strong momentum. The company recently strengthened its balance sheet with a CAD 3.56 million private placement and CAD 1.35 million in convertible debentures, achieved DTC eligibility to expand access for US investors, and began trading on the Frankfurt exchange. Its research pipeline includes multiple AI enabled DDR inhibitor series, most notably the kt2000AI PARP inhibitors and the kt3000 and kt5000 series targeting other DDR pathways, showing promising preclinical results in both efficacy and drug like properties. Key growth drivers for the remainder of 2025 include advancing the kt3283 candidate from the kt3000 series into collaboration studies, continued development of the kt2000AI and kt5000AI programs, and expanded global investor and strategic partner engagement. Recent highlights include data presentations at major scientific conferences, strengthening of the leadership team with new board and advisory members, and a corporate focus on leveraging AI to accelerate oncology drug discovery. These initiatives position Rakovina to capture increasing interest in the fast growing field of AI driven precision oncology.

Rakovina Therapeutics: Advancing AI Driven Cancer Therapies


Market Focus

Rakovina Therapeutics is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company applying artificial intelligence to accelerate the discovery and development of therapies targeting the DNA damage response pathway, a critical mechanism in the treatment of cancer. With global oncology markets expected to exceed $250 billion by the end of the decade, the company is addressing urgent demand for next generation therapies that overcome resistance, improve patient outcomes, and expand treatment options across multiple tumor types. Rakovina’s focus on DDR targets positions it at the forefront of precision oncology innovation.


Platform and Technology Strategy

At the core of Rakovina’s approach are its Deep Docking and Enki AI platforms, proprietary systems that combine computational chemistry and machine learning to design and optimize small molecule drug candidates with enhanced potency, metabolic stability, and central nervous system penetration. These platforms allow the company to rapidly evaluate billions of potential compounds, identifying best in class candidates for clinical development. The pipeline includes the kt2000AI PARP inhibitors and the kt3000 and kt5000 series, which extend beyond PARP to additional DDR pathways, representing a differentiated strategy compared with traditional oncology drug discovery.


Recent Progress – Growth and Partnerships

Rakovina entered the second half of 2025 with strong momentum. The company raised more than CAD 4.9 million through a private placement and convertible debenture financing, strengthened its board with new expertise in finance and science, and achieved DTC eligibility to expand access for US investors. Trading on both the TSX Venture Exchange and the Frankfurt exchange, Rakovina is building an international shareholder base. Recent preclinical data presented at leading scientific conferences demonstrated promising drug like properties of its lead candidates, including long half life, improved clearance, and early indications of brain penetration.


Partnerships, Funding and Strategic Positioning

The company is executing a strategy that combines financing, scientific collaboration, and investor outreach to advance its programs efficiently. With a cash balance of approximately CAD 1.9 million as of June 30, 2025, plus new funding raised in Q2, Rakovina has the resources to progress its pipeline into the next phase of development. Partnerships with academic and research institutions enhance validation of its AI enabled discoveries, while its listing on multiple exchanges improves visibility and access to global capital. The focus on DDR targets provides a clear niche in oncology where demand for new therapies is growing.


Leadership and Capital Markets Strategy

Rakovina is led by Executive Chairman Jeffrey Bacha, who has decades of experience in oncology drug development and public company leadership. He is supported by a management team and scientific advisors with deep expertise in DNA damage response biology, computational drug design, and clinical strategy. The company is publicly listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under ticker RKV and also trades in Europe, providing investors with exposure to a high growth biopharma platform leveraging AI in oncology drug discovery.


Near Term Catalysts

  • Advancement of kt3283 from the kt3000 series into development collaboration studies

  • Additional preclinical data from the kt2000AI and kt5000AI series expected in Q4 2025

  • Expansion of investor and partner outreach in North America and Europe

  • Potential new collaborations to accelerate clinical development and non dilutive funding opportunities

  • Continued adoption of AI technologies in oncology research driving sector wide interest


Conclusion

Rakovina Therapeutics offers investors a unique opportunity to participate in the convergence of artificial intelligence and oncology drug discovery. With its proprietary platforms, differentiated pipeline, strengthened balance sheet, and growing global presence, the company is strategically positioned to create significant value as it advances novel DDR inhibitors toward clinical development.
