Hey, hey everybody.
We’ve got another marriage of companies in healthcare tech today.
Warburg Pincus-backed Qualifacts has joined forces with Martis Capital’s Credible Behavioral Health in a push to become the first nationwide electronic health record platform specializing in behavioral health.
The merger comes about a year after Warburg prevailed in the auction for Qualifacts, providing an exit for Great Hill Partners. Warburg’s investment valued the Nashville-based company near $350 million, sources told PE Hub at the time.
Underlying macro drivers and a large market opportunity ahead presented an attractive case for a combination of two companies, Qualifacts CEO David Klements, who will run the combined company, told me.
Now at around 10 percent market share, Klements said there exists a huge growth opportunity ahead.
That said, Qualifacts is not interested in doing a roll-up of a dozen or so different companies. “This brings together two true SaaS platforms; two companies with good growth rates and good customer retention. This is a very intentional merger.”
