What Slopes Bio does

Slopes Bio, Inc. is a privately held, CAP-accredited and CLIA-certified high-complexity clinical laboratory headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, that operates a Laboratory-as-a-Service (LaaS) model for health and wellness innovators. The company offers an integrated platform — branded as the Slopes Bio LabKit™ — that bundles four service modules: custom kitting (branded or white-label sample collection kits), high-complexity laboratory testing with custom assay development and validation, HIPAA-compliant data transformation (CSV, HL7, and consumer-friendly summaries via API-enabled infrastructure), and compliant short- and long-term sample and data storage including biobanking. The technology stack combines validated specimen collection workflows, the Singular Genomics G4 next-generation sequencing platform (installed January 2024), AI-supported bioinformatics, and secure cloud reporting.

The company sells into two primary verticals: healthcare and wellness companies seeking to launch or scale testing programs, and diagnostics companies requiring validation, regulatory, and high-complexity testing support. GTM is consultative enterprise field sales, with prospects initiating engagement through "Request A Consultation" and "Request Information" CTAs on the website. Revenue is generated through project-based and testing-fee arrangements with no publicly disclosed pricing. Slopes Bio has reported 250K+ lives informed through testing, 50+ partner programs launched, and completed an oversubscribed $3.8 million Series A in July 2023 to expand the LabKit Platform. The company is founder-led by Kenneth Ward (co-founder and director) and Allen Ward (CRO and co-founder), with 11-50 employees and additional credentials including ISO 27001 and HIPAA compliance.
