The Cambridge-based company is backed by Flagship Ventures, Polaris Venture Partners and Third Rock Ventures, website PE Hub reports, citing a regulatory filing.

Seventh Sense Biosystems does not yet have a website, but the Massachusetts Secretary of State corporate database lists Doug Levinson as the firm’s president, treasurer and director.
