Dear Fellow Stockholders,
It is an exciting time to be associated with iSpecimen.
In September 2022, iSpecimen commenced on a strategic corporate review and predictive revenue
realignment in resources. We have been making meaningful progress towards understanding and tapping
into the full potential of our entire organization. Our efforts have yielded results, as evidenced by our recordbreaking revenue in Q4 2022 of $3.2 million, a 28% increase over Q4 2021.
For 2023, in addition to our core business and as part of a very deliberately developed strategic plan, we
are undertaking several revenue enhancement projects in areas such as sequencing, remnants, and normal
blood, as well as the acceleration of on-site iSpecimen project coordinators at selected suppliers sites to
facilitate improved specimen feasibility, identification, coordination, utilization, and fulfillment. iSpecimen
plans to continue to invest, where necessary, throughout 2023, to accelerate these revenue growth
initiatives.
We plan to make a significant portion of our investment in technology for the 2023 fiscal year, during the
first half of the year. We believe that this demonstrates our commitment to our vision to be transformational
in our industry with our online marketplace. Our technology efforts to improve the iSpecimen marketplace
platform in 2023 will include updating search functionality, improving the user interface, increasing
automation, and enhancing matchmaking. I m pleased to report that, as of the date of this letter, all of these
efforts remain on track. To complete these updates, we are leveraging our significant technology
investments to date in our data processing and pipelines.
Executing these plans is critical to the success of iSpecimen. It is important that we execute iSpecimen s
mission to accelerate life science research and development via a single global marketplace platform that
connects researchers to subjects, specimens, and data. To do so, we will expend all of our efforts to ensure
that our marketplace platform provides a comprehensive solution with ease of use so that researchers are
able to search for desired biospecimens, suppliers can fully utilize their biospecimens, and additional
adjacent opportunities can be unlocked for us. As we move forward, all of our activities, initiatives, and
projects in 2023 are focused on this mission.
I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to the entire iSpecimen team for their dedication, hard work,
and belief in our collective vision. The team s continued support and efforts inspire me as we make progress
executing on our strategic plans and key initiatives for 2023.
Regards,
Tracy Curley
Chief Executive Officer
