Every company on the Inc. Power Partner award list received top marks from clients for being instrumental in helping leadership navigate the dynamic world of startups. These B2B partners support entrepreneurs across various facets of the business, including hiring, compliance, infrastructure development, cloud migration, fundraising, etc., allowing founders to focus on their core missions.
“This is our definitive listing of vendors and suppliers who have demonstrated excellence in serving small- and midsize customers,” says Inc. Editor-in-Chief Mike Hofman. “As part of the vetting process, our team of editors, researchers and reporters gathered information on companies’ products and services, assessed their reputation as captured in online comments and forums, and collected customer testimonials to ensure that the sales pitch matches the actual client experience. In every case, we spoke to founders like you who were happy to attest to a vendor’s genuine commitment to a mutually beneficial business partnership. We’re happy to be the conduit for that positive word of mouth.”
“Dentistry is the leader in healthcare when it comes to embracing the benefits of AI. We are proud that Pearl is being recognized as the company at the forefront of enabling the use of this technology for patient care as well as the growth of dental businesses ranging from small and medium-sized businesses up through DSOs,” said Ophir Tanz, founder and CEO of Pearl. “The Inc. Power Partners Award is the latest validation that Pearl is positively impacting the dental industry and ensuring sustainable growth through accessible AI-powered dental care.

Most recently the company announced its successful Series B fundraising of $58 million at a $400 million valuation, marking the largest-ever investment in dental AI. The round was led by Left Lane Capital, with participation from Smash Capital, Alpha Partners, and existing investors, Craft Ventures and Neotribe Ventures. The company also struck up valuable partnerships with other industry leaders, including Ora’s all-in-one dental software platform, for which Pearl is providing advanced AI imaging, as well as Midwest Dental, Software of Excellence, and Peak Dental.
