Sequencing.com was founded by Brandon Colby a physician-entrepreneur; it was online in beta throughout 2016 and launched in September 2016.[1] At launch it offered free, HIPAA-compliant and EU-US Privacy Shield-compliant hosting of genomic sequencing data for individuals and for researchers, an API through which third parties could interface with the data it hosts, and an app store; its app store was initially populated with its own apps, some of which were free and some of which cost $10 per use and it intended to include third party apps as well.[1] It intended to make money through its API and through its non-free apps.[1]
