Enzyme
One announced seed round of $1.85 million in January 2018, no Form D on file with the SEC at any point, and an acquisition by the category leader in July 2025 on undisclosed terms. The capital record is short, and most of what is published about it does not agree.
Data as of September 24, 2026. Company-reported and vendor-estimated figures are labeled.

What the filings show
Enzyme Corporation · Form D · none on file
- Company search
- EDGAR company search for Form D filers whose name contains enzyme returns three filers: EnzymeBioSystems, Enzyme Media, Inc. and Wheel Health, Inc. None is this company.
- Exemption used
- Unknown. The 2018 round was raised on SAFEs per the founder, and an issuer relying on Section 4(a)(2) rather than Regulation D files no Form D.

Reading the filings
- The SEC has nothing on this company.Not one Form D across eight years and at least three financings. The founder said in a December 2018 interview that the capital was all on SAFEs and that no priced round had been done. A SAFE sold under Regulation D still triggers a Form D within 15 days of first sale, so the absence points to Section 4(a)(2) reliance instead. The practical result is that every capital figure on this page comes from journalism, an investor blog or a data vendor, not from a filing.
- Four sources give four totals.TechCrunch and Rock Health both reported $1.85M in January 2018. Tracxn says $1.97M across two rounds. GetLatka says $2M, split $1.9M seed plus $120K pre-seed. CB Insights says total raised $120K, which is the pre-seed alone. The spread between the highest and lowest published total is 16 times.
- The revenue estimate does not survive division.GetLatka estimates $10.3M of 2024 revenue against 21 customers, which is $490,476 each, and it prints an average contract value of $488,600. But the 21 is the same count Seehafer gave in December 2018, when he put the run rate near $1 million, about $48,000 per customer, and called $50,000 a year the sweet spot for a small company. Software Advice lists a starting price of $1,000 per month, or $12,000 a year. A stale 2018 denominator divided into a 2024 estimate produces a number roughly ten times the only per-customer prices on the record.
- A majority stake appears once and then vanishes.Olin College reported in March 2023 that Roivant Sciences became majority shareholder in 2022 and that the alumni investment collective Parcel B donated part of its proceeds back to the college. Roivant appears in none of the 2025 acquisition coverage, in no investor list at Tracxn or CB Insights, and in no SEC filing referring to this company. If the report is right, the 2025 sale was Roivant selling a controlling position, not founders selling a startup.
- The buyer had 61 times the capital.Tracxn puts Greenlight Guru at $121M raised against Enzyme at $1.97M, with MasterControl at $150M, Qualio at $63.9M and Ketryx at $55M. Enzyme ranked twentieth of 150 competitors on the same list and the acquirer ranked first. Being the smallest funded credible player in a consolidating category is the whole explanation of the outcome.
