Can anyone name a company that raised significant money pre-launch in a party round and that turned out okay?

Color, Clinkle, Theranos, Magic Leap... they all have that in common. I'd be interested if there are counter examples.

What's a significant amount of money?

Solexa raised 130MUSD pre-launch: http://41j.com/blog/2016/01/a-solexa-story/

Quite a new life science/biotech companies do.

I think biomedical companies are very different than technology companies in terms of product launches. So not really comparable.
