Name of Business
Baycom Diagnostics
Main Contact/Title:
Gus Ray, President
Tell us aboutcompany (history, products/services, number of employees, overallreach - local,
national, global)
Baycom Diagnostics sells a diabetic test for cats and dogs called A1CARE. Ittests for
glycosylated hemoglobin also known as A1C and is considered the “Gold Standard” in diabetic
testing. The idea for the test started in 2005 and it took 10 years to develop. We are very
fortunate there is an FDA registered contractmanufacturing facility in Tallahasseein which
baycomis co-located. In 2016 baycomwas ableto get national distribution for A1CARE. Our
team consists of contracted project management, testing services at FSUand part time
employees.
Why Tallahassee? Why have you stayed in the community?
The Tallahassee business community supportfor starting a company has made the dream
possible. I would not havebeen able to do it without the supportof my friends at Marble
Medical and FSU. Starting a biotech company definitely has some major hurdles but it is
possibleand I would even say easier in Tallahassee than in Silicon Valley. 17 years ago I lived
in San Francisco and raised venture capital money for a polymer chemistry startup. The
differences between here and there are different but similar. The mostimportant aspect is
you justhave to know who to ask and where to look for the resources. Wehave made a
concerted effortto keep as much of our business needs in Tallahassee as possiblefrom
marketing help to mass spectrometry at FSU.
How is your company positioned for growth? Whatdoes the future look like for your business?
2017 was a great year for baycom. For starters, wewere able to get national distribution for
A1CARE. We expect 2018 to have significantgrowth in product sales and have severalother
diagnostics products being developed for veterinary use.
What would you tell people about your company that they might not already know?
50% of all cats and dogs are obese. All of these animals need A1Ctesting to screen for pre-
diabetes. That equates to millions of pre -diabetes tests per year. It is a significantproblem
and A1C testing can have a major impact on helping these animals lead a better life.
What would you tell a business aboutTallahassee who might be looking to expand, relocate or
starttheir company here?
Tallahassee has everything you need to start, grow and succeed in business. If you need a
scientist FSUand FAMU are here to help, if you need manufacturing help it is here, and if you
need a lawyer we havea bunch of them, too.
