The share price rose to USD 22.00 (+29.4%) on the first day of trading, valuing the company at around USD 1.1 billion.

HBM Healthcare Investments has invested a total of USD 30 million in two financing rounds of Upstream Bio since October 2021. Most recently, the investment was valued at USD 44 million.
