Great Point Partners, (“Great Point”) a Greenwich-based private investment firm focused exclusively on the health care industry, announced today that it was again recognized on Inc.’s Founder-Friendly Investors list. This list honors the private equity, venture capital, and debt firms with track records of successfully partnering with the founder-led businesses they invest in, while maintaining their entrepreneurial spirit. This marks the third consecutive year that Inc. has recognized Great Point Partners track accomplishments in this area.
Since Great Point’s inception in 2003, the firm has supported health care companies in achieving their full potential. Over the past two decades, Great Point Partners has supported entrepreneurs by providing capital, facilitating acquisitions, and offering unparalleled resources and strategic long-term guidance to founder-led businesses.
The firm is led by an experienced team of healthcare specialists that has honed their expertise and worked closely together for over a decade. Additionally, Great Point Partners is advised by a CEO Board of leading health care industry executives and a Medical Advisory Board of physicians and scientists.
“Our mission has always been to be the partner we would want if we were founders ourselves — one that provides strategic guidance, capital and collaboration without losing sight of their vision,” said Jeffrey Jay, Founder and Managing Partner of Great Point Partners. “Since 2003, we’ve been proud to support health care leaders who are driving innovation across the industry. This recognition reinforces our belief that the best outcomes come from true partnership.”
Inc.’s Founder-Friendly Investors list has become a trusted resource for entrepreneurs seeking growth-minded investors who allow founders to retain ownership stakes. To compile the list, Inc. surveyed founders who sold to private equity or venture capital firms, gathering insights into their partnerships and company growth during these collaborations.
“This recognition is a testament to our focus and expertise in supporting the founder-led community,” said Shaun O’Connor, Head of Business Development at Great Point Partners, who encourages business owners to reach out directly and build relationships well ahead of taking on a capital partner. “Great Point has always welcomed the opportunity to speak with business owners years in advance of formalizing a partnership. It’s our commitment to be a resource and provide thought partnership to founders to help them achieve their fullest potential.”
