About us

History

In the picture from left to right, are Paul Vulto (CEO), Jos Joore (CEO), Bas Trietsch (CTO), and Jacquelien ten Dam (CFO). Together they are forming the management team of MIMETAS. Paul, Jos, and Bas founded MIMETAS in 2013 in Leiden, the Netherlands. Since then, Paul and Jos have been CEOs, whereas Bas is now serving as CTO. In that same year, MIMETAS incorporated her US-branch in Gaithersburg (MD). Also, the Dutch-Belgian biotech company Galapagos (Euronext & NASDAQ: GLPG) became MIMETAS’ launching customer. MIMETAS expanded rapidly over the years. The company is now working with nearly all major pharmaceutical companies and many top-tier academic institutes. In 2018, MIMETAS opened a subsidiary in Tokyo to expand its presence in Asia. In 2019, the management team has been expanded and strengthened with the addition of Jacquelien ten Dam, serving as CFO.

Today, MIMETAS counts over 100 employees in four sites in the Netherlands, USA, and Japan.

In 2014, MIMETAS raised a Series A investment round of 5.6 million USD, followed by a Series B round of 21 million USD in 2018
