These Form 3 filings confirm that two large venture-backer insiders have quantified their pre-IPO equity positions and are preparing for an imminent initial public offering. Monitor for the S-1 filing, pricing updates, and the lock-up agreement terms. The large insider holdings could indicate that a significant portion of the IPO float will be subject to lock-up or that insider participation in the offering may occur.

Executive Summary
Two large, Foresite Capital and Westlake BioPartners-affiliated beneficial owners filed initial Section 16 statements of ownership (Form 3) for Latigo Biotherapeutics, Inc. Both reporting persons disclose substantial holdings in convertible preferred stock and convertible promissory notes that will convert to common stock upon the closing of the issuer's initial public offering. These filings confirm insider/venture-backer stake positioning ahead of an expected IPO.
Key Facts
- Filing date: August 6, 2026; period of report: August 6, 2026.
- James B. Tananbaum (Foresite Capital) reports beneficial ownership of 7,884,247 shares of common stock (on an as-converted basis) via Series A-2 and Series B convertible preferred stock and a convertible promissory note held through Foresite funds.
- Beth Seidenberg (Westlake BioPartners) reports beneficial ownership of 11,065,513 shares of common stock (on an as-converted basis) via Series Seed, Series A, Series A-2, and Series B convertible preferred stock and a convertible promissory note held through Westlake funds.
- All preferred stock automatically converts to common stock 1:1 upon the closing of the issuer's initial public offering without further consideration.
- The convertible promissory notes mature June 17, 2027 and will also convert automatically into common stock at the IPO price upon closing of the IPO.
- Each reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership except to the extent of their pecuniary interest; shares are held by affiliated investment funds.
Financial Impact
Insiders collectively report ownership of approximately 18.9 million shares on an as-converted basis, representing a significant pre-IPO equity position. No transaction prices disclosed; these are initial beneficial ownership statements required by Section 16 upon becoming a 10% holder.
Risk Factors
- Any delay or cancellation of the IPO could reset the conversion mechanics and alter the economic exposure.
- Venture-backer overhang from the large position could weigh on post-IPO secondary supply if lock-up periods are short.
- The convertible notes will convert at the IPO price, injecting additional shares into the float immediately at listing.
