Ampersand Capital Partners: Accelerating Growth with Healthcare Entrepreneurs
Ampersand Capital Partners is a Boston-based private equity firm that specializes in investing in healthcare companies. With over 25 years of experience, Ampersand has established itself as a leading investor in the healthcare industry, providing growth capital to entrepreneurs and management teams who are developing innovative solutions to improve patient outcomes.
At Ampersand, we believe that healthcare is one of the most important industries in the world. It touches everyone's lives at some point and has a profound impact on society as a whole. That's why we're passionate about partnering with entrepreneurs who share our vision for improving healthcare through innovation.
Our investment strategy is focused on three key areas: medical devices, life sciences tools and diagnostics, and specialty pharmaceuticals. We seek out companies that have developed breakthrough technologies or products that address unmet medical needs or improve existing treatments.
We work closely with our portfolio companies to help them achieve their growth objectives by providing strategic guidance, operational support, and access to our extensive network of industry experts. Our team has deep expertise across all aspects of the healthcare industry, including product development, regulatory affairs, sales and marketing, finance and operations.
One of the things that sets us apart from other private equity firms is our long-term approach to investing. We understand that building successful healthcare companies takes time and patience. That's why we're committed to supporting our portfolio companies for as long as it takes to achieve their goals.
Over the years, we've had many success stories at Ampersand. One example is Bioventus Inc., a global leader in orthobiologics based in Durham NC which was acquired by Smith & Nephew plc (LSE:SN) for $880 million USD earlier this year . We invested in Bioventus back when it was just getting started and worked closely with its management team over several years helping them grow into an international company serving patients around the world .
Another example is Confluent Medical Technologies Inc., which develops advanced medical devices used in minimally invasive procedures such as stents , catheters , balloons etc . We partnered with Confluent Medical Technologies early on when they were still developing their technology platform , helped them build out their manufacturing capabilities , expand globally through acquisitions like Corpus Medical Inc., which added new capabilities such as balloon catheter manufacturing .
At Ampersand Capital Partners , we are always looking for new opportunities to partner with talented entrepreneurs who share our passion for improving healthcare through innovation .
