Precision Medicine Consultancy DIACEUTICS Plans $70M IPO

The precision medicine consultancy DIACEUTICS, which raised about $5M last year from WhiteRock Capital, has announced plans for a $70M IPO on the London Stock Exchange.

The firm announced that it believes the addressable market for its consulting services is $2.5B (by 2023).  The business currently has annual revenue circa $15M.

I've had the chance to present on CMS precision medicine trends at Diaceutics conferences several times.  Diaceutics was founded in 2005 by Peter and Ryan Keeling.

I've understood the firm was founded in Northern Ireland.  Trade press lists its headquarters in Dunkalk, Ireland, north of Dublin and just on the south side of what will soon become an E.U. border after Brexit.
