Richmond telehealth company AnswersNow wins big industry award
Richmond virtual behavioral therapy company AnswersNow Inc. was recently named the world's best telehealth platform at the MedTech Breakthrough Awards.
The Los Angeles group annually hands out awards to companies, products and people in the medical tech, digital health and fitness spaces, including those working in medical devices, internet of things, electronic health records and more. The group of 141 winners for 2025 was judged from a pool of more than 4,500 nominations.
AnswersNow pairs families with behavioral health clinicians specializing in autism on its proprietary platform. The clinicians provide applied behavior analysis, which is often used to teach new behaviors or diminish behaviors associated with autism. It is also used in the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and other developmental disabilities.
The company utilizes telehealth technology to meet patients where they are and at more convenient times. That, it says, makes care more accessible and affordable.
'Traditional autism care in America is past its breaking point and families deserve better,' AnswersNow CEO Jeff Beck said in a statement. 'This recognition is an important validation of our team's collective effort and the undeniable evidence that virtual ABA therapy helps learners everywhere lead more fulfilling lives.'
AnswersNow recently made a series of executive hires with an eye on expansion in 2025. Beck told me March the company would likely go to market in the third or fourth quarter to raise more money. AnswersNow has raised roughly $12.5 million to since its founding in 2017, according to Crunchbase, including an $11 million Series A round in 2023 led by New York's Left Lane Capital.
Beck told me the company, which employs a total of 154, has tripled revenue each year since 2022. He declined to give exact figures.
Today, AnswersNow is serving Medicaid and commercial clients in Virginia, Texas and Georgia.
