Private Equity Investing in Digital Health Companies

Recently, I’ve noticed an increase in private equity firms investing in Online Digital Health companies.

This space has traditionally been more reserved for the venture capital funds. Either the online medical software industry has sufficiently matured to attract the attention of traditional private equity firms or the PE firms are moving to a slightly earlier stage investment strategy… or both.
