About Within3

Founded in 2007 by Lance Hill, who currently serves as CEO, Within3 operates as a specialized communication and collaboration platform for the life sciences and healthcare sectors. Hill, who previously held roles at webMethods, IBM Global Services, and National City Bank, established the company to address critical communication barriers within the healthcare industry. Initially launched as a secure peer-to-peer engagement platform for physicians, the company pivoted to meet a broader need for pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device companies to gather strategic insights.

Within3 is a privately held company headquartered in Lakewood, Ohio, and is backed by private equity. A significant financial milestone was achieved in September 2020, when the company secured over $100 million in a Series C funding round led by Insight Partners, with participation from Silversmith Capital Partners. This followed an earlier Series A round in 2012. The firm has utilized this capital to fuel product innovation and global expansion, including the strategic acquisitions of rMark Bio in April 2021 and Voxx Analytics in June 2021 to enhance its data and analytics capabilities.

The core of the business is its Insights Management Platform, a subscription-based service targeting pharmaceutical, medical device, and other life science organizations. This platform is designed to solve the 'insight gap' by enabling clients to identify, engage, and analyze feedback from key stakeholders such as physicians, patients, and payers. It facilitates asynchronous virtual discussions across different time zones and languages, regulatory-compliant advisory boards, clinical trial engagement, and speaker bureaus. The platform integrates technologies like network analytics and AI-powered social listening to map disease communities, identify key opinion leaders, and extract actionable insights from digital conversations. By consolidating these functions, Within3 aims to reduce insight reporting time from months to days and significantly cut the associated workload, allowing clients to make faster, more informed strategic decisions.
