Growth Partner is for founders and operators of established healthcare businesses who want a lead investor who knows the industry. We lead the equity and commit our own capital to every deal—for example, $2 million of a $20 million round—and institutional and high-net-worth partners fund the balance alongside us. Rounds range from $5 million to $100 million.
We invest as a principal, so there is no deployment deadline and no pressure to put money to work. We invest selectively, in businesses where we can see what will move the company.
The best healthcare businesses we've backed had one thing in common: a founder who'd already figured out the hard part. They didn't need a new strategy. They needed someone who'd seen enough healthcare businesses to know where the leverage was. That pattern recognition lets us identify the two or three things that will meaningfully change a company's trajectory—tighter economics, a key hire, a market expansion the operator already knows is there but hasn't had the capital or bandwidth to pursue—and help make them happen.
And when the fundamentals and the people line up, we don't complicate the rest. We structure deals where the incentives are aligned and the risk is shared fairly—no financial engineering tricks, no terms designed to shift downside onto the operator, no wasted cycles on provisions that exist only to protect one side at the expense of the other. Clean structures that everyone understands, built to make money together.
Advisory is for founders and private equity firms buying or selling healthcare businesses. We advise on both sell-side and buy-side transactions, and healthcare is the only industry we cover.
We've evaluated hundreds of businesses across provider services, behavioral health, post-acute care, and value-based care. We know which revenue cycle systems break at scale. We know how reimbursement shifts in Medicare Advantage affect margins two years before most operators feel it. We know the difference between a business built on sustainable clinical value and one built on arbitrage that regulators will eventually close.
That judgment comes from more than 150 closed deals valued at $24 billion. See how we advise.
Executive Mentorship is for CEOs, founders, and senior executives who have built something real and are asking harder questions than their current circle can honestly answer.
Marc works one-to-one with a small number of people at a time. The work is unstructured by design, with structured tools available when they help.
It stands apart from everything else we do. Marc serves these clients only as a mentor, and the client pays for the work directly. Learn more about Executive Mentorship.
