Isomere, Inc. — Rogers, Arkansas
We engineer the absence of pain.
Isomere was founded in the University of Arkansas graduate entrepreneurship program, where the technology was built, the business case was stress-tested by industry judges, and the company won its first funding on a stage rather than in a term sheet.
Lance Lockwood
Lance brings a decade of experience in retail and consumer packaged goods, with deep expertise in go-to-market strategy, brand building, and scaling operations from concept to national distribution. He has held roles at major CPG companies, where he learned that the best products win on clarity, not complexity.
He leads commercial strategy, fundraising, and investor relations — translating Strep-Detect's clinical promise into a business that clinics actually want to buy. Lance is driven by a simple conviction: no child should fear a doctor's visit because of a diagnostic test.
Joseph Hobbs
Joey is the inventor of the Strep-Detect technology. The work started in urgent care clinics, where he spent time with providers to understand the limitations of current strep throat testing. Those early observations shaped three years of development, including a self-directed, self-funded graduate thesis dedicated to building a better answer.
With a background in biomedical engineering and ongoing graduate studies in healthcare entrepreneurship, he leads the science and product work — turning clinical pain points into technology that can scale.
