Investing in Revenue Generating Healthcare Companies to Grow with Management and Take the Company to the Next Level

Through our growth equity practice, we seek to make proprietary investments in proven healthcare companies. This is where the majority of our capital has been and will continue to be deployed for our most recent funds. We define these opportunities as ones with the following characteristics: 1) rapidly growing revenues and earnings, 2) low to no risk of capital, and 3) well positioned for a predictable exit. The company can be public or private and Essex Woodlands will consider minority or majority investments.

Typically, our growth equity investments have enterprise values of $20 - $200mm. Our firm has the ability to invest up to $100mm per deal with typical investments of $20-60mm in equity. We may also use a modest amount of leverage without relying on debt alone to receive our financial returns or overburdening the company. Our growth equity practice has a history of partnering with other firms to complete large transactions, where we typically serve as one of the groups with deep domain and operating expertise.
