Ampersand Capital Partners

What they do

Founded in 1988, Ampersand Capital Partners is one of America's oldest private equity firms, specializing exclusively in the healthcare and life sciences ecosystem. The firm is uniquely positioned as a "company builder" rather than just a financial sponsor, blending deep private equity expertise with hands-on operating experience. Ampersand is highly regarded for its founder-friendly approach, frequently partnering with visionary entrepreneurs through minority and majority equity investments to scale businesses via organic growth and strategic M&A.

What they look for

Ampersand’s investment philosophy is centered on forging leaders in healthcare and life sciences through minority and majority equity investments in growth-oriented companies. They work side-by-side with founders to drive growth through organic initiatives and inorganic strategies (such as buy-and-builds, transformative combinations, and reverse add-ons).
