Ardan invests in healthcare software across a spectrum of asset maturity – from emerging and core middlemarket, to large-cap companies. The result is a complementary, multi-cap growth buyout strategy with a singular mission – investing in the highest quality healthcare software opportunities. Our healthcare private equity strategy focuses on growth buyouts of companies that are profitable or nearing profitability. Ideal company solutions enable healthcare stakeholders with highly scaleable, automated and intelligent capabilities that materially reduce cost while extending access. We seek companies that research and develop proprietary software solutions that either license directly to their customers or leverage internally to create a software-enabled managed service.
