Council Capital is a Nashville-based, healthcare-focused private equity firm that invests exclusively in lower middle market healthcare services and healthcare technology companies. The firm targets control and minority investments in growing, EBITDA-positive businesses — often bootstrapped and founder-led — with enterprise values up to $100M, seeking companies on the 'right side of change' in healthcare where growth will accelerate as cost pressure and quality demands increase. Council differentiates through its proprietary 'CEO Council Model': a formal network of 34 senior healthcare executives who have personally invested over $140M in Council's funds and provide portfolio companies with strategic relationships spanning ~60% of managed care lives, major for-profit hospital systems, and millions of self-insured lives. Complementing this network, Council deploys a dedicated Value Creation Team of operators to help portfolio companies bridge gaps and accelerate performance.
Notable quotes
“Exceeding our target, while adding a number of leading institutional and strategic healthcare investors is a testament to the strength of our team and the CEO Council business model, which we will continue to utilize to support our portfolio companies by helping drive their growth and increase their equity value.”
“We are fortunate to have backed many great leadership teams, many for the second or third time – an indicator of the success of these important partnerships.”
“We are incredibly proud to promote Tim Schulte and Jason Shafer to Partner.”
