Fun facts about Caribou Biosciences, Inc.

Quirks, history, and lore behind CRBU — the kind of stuff that makes a stock memorable.

  • 1
    The Basics
    U.S. biotechnology company · small-cap · listed on Nasdaq · headquartered in Berkeley, California.
  • 2
    The Numbers
    Annual revenue is in the low tens of millions — mostly from licensing and collaborations — while it burns cash developing therapies it hopes will one day dwarf that figure.
  • 3
    The History
    Founded around 2011 and built on intellectual property spun out of academic research at UC Berkeley, the same institution that gave the world some of the most influential gene-editing science ever published.
  • 4
    The Secret
    Its core platform uses CRISPR-Cas12a — a lesser-known variant of the famous gene-scissors — which its scientists argue offers precision advantages over the more widely publicized Cas9 cousin.
  • 5
    The Lore
    The company shares its gene-editing heritage with Jennifer Doudna's orbit — the Nobel-winning UC Berkeley lab that essentially ignited the modern CRISPR revolution — giving it serious scientific street cred from day one.
  • 6
    The Giveaway
    Its name pairs a large North American deer with the word Biosciences — and its pipeline targets blood cancers and other diseases using its proprietary chRDNA gene-editing technology.

AI Insight: CRBU Financial Trends

Equity has collapsed from $310M to $102M in seven quarters as cash burn continues, though quarterly losses are narrowing toward $25–26M.

Equity eroded 67% from $310M in Q2 2024 to $102M in Q1 2026, reflecting sustained net losses with no debt financing.

Net loss improved from a peak of $-54M in Q2 2025 to $-25M in Q1 2026, a meaningful sequential reduction.

Operating cash outflow narrowed from $-37M in Q1 2025 to $-21M in Q4 2025, before ticking back to $-27M in Q1 2026.

Revenue has remained flat, oscillating between $2M and $4M across all eight quarters — no growth trajectory visible.

At $102M equity and ~$25M quarterly cash burn, the runway appears limited to roughly four quarters without additional financing.

Operating cash outflow rebounded to $-27M in Q1 2026 after hitting a low of $-21M in Q4 2025 — watch for sustained improvement.

No debt on the balance sheet means dilutive equity raises are the likely next capital source; monitor share issuance activity.
