Company Description

20/20 GeneSystems develops and commercializes clinical laboratory tests that are improved with machine learning and real-world data. Through our high-complexity CLIA lab, we offer what is believed to be the first multi-cancer screening blood test in the U.S. costing under $200. In response to the global pandemic, we expanded our CLIA laboratory test menu to include PCR testing. Due to our ability to scale our COVID testing operation, 2021 revenues exceeded $9 million with over $1 million in net profits for the year. This represents a more than 300% increase over 2020 revenues. As a result, we ranked no. 131 on the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing companies in 2022. To grow our portfolio of tests, the Company has built a Clinical Laboratory Innovation Accelerator, or CLIAx, which we believe is the country’s first accelerator facility for diagnostics start-ups. Our CLIAx is expected to help fuel our product and revenue growth for the next five years and already has two companies signed up to join.
