SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- ixlayer, a leader in technology-based solutions for diagnostic testing, has been named to the Inc. 2021 Best in Business list in the Software category. Inc.'s Best in Business Awards honor companies that have gone above and beyond to make a positive impact. ixlayer, one of just four sector winners in the Software category, earned a Silver medal for its role in building a cloud-based lab-testing platform used by healthcare providers, payors, and governments.

The list, which can be found in the Winter issue of Inc. magazine (on newsstands December 14), recognizes small- and medium-size privately held American businesses that have had an outstanding influence on their communities, their industries, the environment, or society as a whole.

This past year, ixlayer has partnered with various public and private enterprises, including Carashoft Technology Corp, FrontRunnerHC, Senpex, Maverick Health, and the U.S. Coast Guard, among others. Additionally, ixlayer raised $75 Million for their Series A round in March of 2021. Funding participation was led by General Catalyst and PearVC, with additional support this September from Salesforce Ventures and Accenture Ventures.

Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc., says, "What began for us during the pandemic as an effort to showcase companies that were helping the community has grown into a recognition of social, environmental, and economic impact. The companies on this year's list are changemakers with heart – and they're pouring the best of their business into the people and communities around them."

"We're very pleased to be recognized by the Inc. team as a leading company with a mission to better provide and strengthen remote diagnostics and remote lab health testing," says Pouria Sanae, CEO of ixlayer. "Catalyzed by our initial success with providing COVID-19 testing, our 'Patient-initiated testing' will aim to give people more control over their health as we break the barriers to affordable, accessible, available and timely health testing."

Rather than relying on quantitative criteria tied to sales or funding, Inc.'s editors reviewed the companies' achievements over the past year and noted how they made a positive difference in the world. They then selected honorees in more than 49 different industries – from finance to software to engineering to fashion, and more – and in age-based and revenue-based categories. The applicant pool was extremely competitive, with around 2,700 entries and an acceptance rate in the low single digits – a huge success for these honors in the list's second year. Honorees for gold, silver, bronze, and general excellence across industries and categories are featured online at inc.com/best-in-business.
