Adaptive Biotechnologies set to go public with valuation above 2B in biggest biotech IPO of 2019 GeekWire

Adaptive Biotechnologies has raised the price for its initial public offering, putting itself in a position to raise more cash than any other biotech IPO this year. The Seattle-based company, which makes technology that can read the genetic information of the human immune system, increased its target price to $18 to $19 per share and could raise as much as $327.5 million from investors, according to a new SEC filing.

That haul would value Adaptive at more than $2 billion when the company debuts on the tech-heavy NASDAQ exchange under the ticker ADPT on Thursday.
