IDEXX Laboratories, Inc.

In 1983, founder David Evans Shaw started IDEXX with just five employees in Portland, Maine, responding to a new niche market: the detection of diseases in livestock and poultry. What began as a focused diagnostic solution provider for the agricultural industry has evolved into something far more transformative - a global leader in pet healthcare innovation. The company recognized early on that veterinarians needed better tools to deliver optimal care, and this insight drove expansion beyond livestock testing into companion animal diagnostics, software, and comprehensive veterinary practice solutions. Today, IDEXX serves veterinarians worldwide with an integrated ecosystem that includes reference laboratories, in-house diagnostic analyzers like Catalyst One and ProCyte Dx, practice management software such as Cornerstone, Neo, and VetConnect PLUS, and educational resources through the IDEXX Learning Center. The company's roughly 11,000 employees across 80+ countries are united by a single mission: helping pets lead longer, fuller lives by giving veterinarians the clarity and answers they need. From pioneering SDMA testing for early kidney disease detection to developing digital cytology platforms that connect veterinarians with pathologists globally, IDEXX has consistently pushed the boundaries of what's possible in veterinary diagnostics, making advanced care accessible to practices of all sizes.

GoodRx, Inc.

In 2011, our founders discovered a troubling reality: Americans were paying wildly different prices for the same prescription medications, often with no way to compare costs or find savings. Co-founder Doug Hirsch had spent decades in technology at companies like Yahoo, but when he needed a simple prescription for his family, he was shocked by the opaque pricing system. Pharmacy prices varied dramatically by location, and consumers had no tools to navigate this confusing landscape. This insight sparked the creation of GoodRx - a platform designed to bring transparency and affordability to prescription drug pricing. What started as a simple price comparison tool has evolved into America's leading prescription savings platform. GoodRx now provides millions of Americans with access to free discounts, telemedicine services through GoodRx Care, and comprehensive healthcare information through GoodRx Health. The company has helped consumers save over $35 billion on medications since its founding, partnering with more than 70,000 pharmacies nationwide. Beyond savings, GoodRx delivers doctor-reviewed health content, medication information, and virtual care options - all with a mission to build better ways for people to find the right care at the best price.
