  Episode 140: The Future of SaaS in Healthcare, With Noah Lewis

  Sep 29, 202620 min

  SaaS is dead in the age of AI, say many in healthcare software. Not so fast, says Noah Lewis , managing partner at Ardan Equity , a sector specialist at the intersection of healthcare, life sciences and technology. Arguing that the “SaaSpocalypse” is overblown, he joins McGuireWoods partner and host Geoff Cockrell to discuss AI’s impact on health tech. Noah explains how he screens for “melting ice cube risk” and sees commercialization, not technology cost, as the real competitive moat. He also unpacks why healthcare’s aging $400 billion tech stack makes the present a golden age for health tech, and contends the market is shifting from inflationary to deflationary business models. It leads to one question: Who wins and loses as AI transforms healthcare?

  Episode 139: Investing in Precision Health, With Chris Dorn

  Sep 16, 202621 min

  Demand for concierge and functional medicine is surging, fueled by the GLP-1 boom and by healthcare costs increasingly shifting onto consumers. Fifth Third Securities managing director Chris Dorn describes this space, also known as “precision health,” as a consultative healthcare model where patients get more time with their physician and access to treatments standard primary care won't provide. In this conversation with McGuireWoods partner and host Geoff Cockrell , Chris digs into the details investors weigh: how much GLP-1 exposure sinks a deal's appeal, and who actually buys these businesses once they reach real scale. Tune in for where the opportunity — and the traps — lie in one of healthcare's fastest-emerging markets.

  Episode 138: Prescribed Pediatric Care at Scale, With Jeff Soffen

  Aug 26, 202624 min

  Three million children in the U.S. could benefit from Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care (PPEC), but most families don't know it exists. Jeffrey Soffen, CEO of Spark Pediatrics , the largest PPEC provider in the country, joins McGuireWoods partner Tim Fry on The Corner Series. Jeff explains how today's standard of care leaves 40 to 60 percent of skilled nursing hours unfulfilled, forcing medically complex children to remain hospitalized for upward of 500 days. Spark's model places children in community-based centers for skilled nursing, therapies and peer socialization. Tune in for Jeff's perspective on state-by-state legislative expansion, health system partnership and why you can do well by doing good in Medicaid.

  Episode 137: The Compliance Playbook Behind Today’s Booming Wellness Clinics, With John Bradburn and Chris Seitz

  Aug 12, 202621 min

  As private equity investment in healthcare compliance and wellness accelerates, oversight infrastructure helps non-physician providers to scale.

John explains Elements’ thesis of backing companies that improve outcomes at lower cost. McGuireWoods partner and host Geoff Cockrell steers the conversation toward AI’s growing role in medical oversight, calling it a massive opportunity.

  Episode 136: Med Spa Growth and Capital Strategy, With Amanda Blank

  Jul 29, 202620 min

  Amanda Blank , CEO of Founders Beauty Group , joins McGuireWoods partner and host Geoff Cockrell to discuss the growth of her strategic med spa platform, built on a hub-and-spoke model across four geographies through the acquisition of established, doctor-owned, cash-pay practices. Amanda shares how she evaluated different capital sources during the company's growth, including her decision to partner with high-net-worth family offices rather than private equity investors at that stage of the business, and discusses the factors that informed that approach. She also explores why specialized industry knowledge matters for investors in the med spa sector, why GLP-1s are unlikely to serve as an anchor service, where durable competitive advantages exist in a relatively low-barrier market and how her experience leading a woman-owned platform has shaped the company's growth.
