20/20 GeneSystems, Inc. United States

20/20 GeneSystems, headquartered in Rockville, Maryland (outside of Washington, D.C.), is a revenue stage diagnostics company that uses machine learning algorithms to greatly improve the accuracy of laboratory tests for the early detection of cancer and other diseases.  In the most recent calendar year our revenues grew to over $2 million aided by several COVID-19 tests that we are successfully commercializing. 

 

Our multi-cancer early detection blood test (www.OneTest.Ai) measures tumor antigens and uses a machine learning algorithm powered by outcome data from over 230,000 individuals tested in real-world screening settings.  OneTest is a highly accessible and affordable pre-test that can be followed up with more expensive and specific circulating tumor DNA tests such as those being developed by Grail and Thrive Earlier Detection.  (Those companies were recently acquired for $8 billion and $2 billion respectively.)      

 

20/20’s institutional investors include Ping An, one of the largest digital health and insurance companies in China, and several well-regarded American funds.   We are working to an initial public offering in 2021 and are now lining up IPO “crossover” investors.

GATTACO Inc. United States

GattaCo develops products that enable fast accurate evidence-based decision making to improve healthcare outcomes. We do this by solving the fundamental problems in sample purification, the most challenging component of the diagnostic testing workflow.

 Our new Plasm™ Module is a revolutionary, patented, automatic plasma separation and metering module or insert used to provide high-purity, metered plasma to a rapid diagnostic testing platform, such as lateral flow, biosensor, or other Point of Care (POC) device, from finger-stick capillary blood. The initial version of the Plasm Module is optimized for antibody testing and will revolutionize POC diagnostics by improving: 

  • Sensitivity: Increased number of antibodies compared to the same volume of whole blood.
  • Specificity Accuracy: High quality/purity sample with reduced background.
  • Repeatability: Plasma is metered to +/- 5%.
  • Quantitation: Precisely metered output, independent of hematocrit.

Grektek United States

The everbeat platform is being offered by Grektek, whose mission is to help dramatically improve cardiac care. We created everbeat to improve our ability to take care of ourselves, especially as we get older, and with a strong focus on heart health. Most existing solutions related to cardiac care are unattractive and cumbersome, and brand the patient as weak or sickly. At Grektek, we designed everbeat to be elegant and simple, allowing patients to take better care of themselves with dignity and comfort. We also believe that patients will enjoy the everbeat solution, which means they will use it consistently for a long time – and sustained use of a cardiac monitoring platform is essential to getting healthy.
