From zero to $13.5 million in just four years affirms that our products are effective for our customers, changing their lives for the better.
AUSTIN, TX (PRWEB) August 20, 2015
Neogenis® Labs, a world leader in Nitric Oxide solutions and functional foods for cardiovascular health and sports endurance products, has been named to the 2015 Inc. 5000 List, a prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest growing, most successful private companies. Neogenis debuted at a ranking of 602 overall, and second in 2014 revenue amongst the youngest companies with health-related consumable products. They were also recently named to the Austin A-List of most promising start-ups by the Austin Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with South By Southwest Interactive.
Joel Kocher, Co-Founder and CEO said, “We are inspired to be named to this prestigious list of American companies. From zero to $13.5 million in just four years affirms that our products are effective for our customers, changing their lives for the better. That is what drives our research, our product strategy and our employees every single day.” Kocher has been involved with six Inc. 5000 companies at various stages of their growth, including Dell Computer where he was the number two executive during its meteoric rise from an early stage Inc. company to Fortune 500 status. He went on to say, “this has been the best ride of all, to Inc. 602 in just over four years. As excited and proud as I am of our team, I know we have not yet achieved what we set out to do – to bring the incredible power of our patented and clinically studied nitric oxide solutions to the human race on a mass scale.”
