Corporations and investors lean on Capstone’s expertise in healthcare policy to gain valuable insights on regulatory risks and global opportunities. Our process is designed to uncover innovative policy-driven ideas, advising private equity firms, corporations, and investors on the impact of regulation on potential and existing investments.

We leverage our ability to wade through public records of existing and proposed regulation, legislation, and other policy efforts. We combine that with our relationships with major industry associations, as well as senior policymakers and influential experts, to add value and identify opportunities for investment growth.

What Separates Capstone Healthcare from the Competition​

1
Proprietary Network

Capstone leverages a proprietary and purpose-built network of experts and other professionals involved in policy formation, influence, and analysis, including current and former policymakers, trade associations, lobbyists, government affairs staff, think tanks, and other policy thought leaders.

Real-Time 360 Policy/Regulatory Channel Checks

Instead of relying exclusively on former policymakers, institutional knowledge, and prior engagement work, Capstone provides real-time insights and channel checks. Capstone is non-partisan and agnostic to policy outcomes (i.e., we do not advocate/lobby), which keeps lines of communication open and honest.

2
Diverse Client Set

Capstone works across both the capital structure and the investment lifecycle. Our diversified client set includes private equity, growth equity, and venture capital firms; private credit and direct lending firms; long-only, long/short, multi-manager, and distressed/opportunistic credit hedge funds; and portfolio companies and corporates.

Investment-Driven Approach and Analysis

This approach provides Capstone with a unique perspective on each transaction and business and promotes more thoughtful analysis. Capstone frames all policy and regulatory risks through a financial and operational lens, making our products better-suited for discerning how policy and regulatory changes impact a company’s business model and economics.

3
Obsessive Focus on Quality Service and Quality Product
One dedicated team will work with you from scope writing to final deliverable to avoid misplaced incentives or less actionable products. Our involvement from start to finish ensures that no questions are left unanswered and we can direct resources toward policy/commercial considerations that may be less obvious but more impactful.

Partners in the Process

Every deliverable is tailor-made, based on a specific company’s operating model and strategy—not just major thoughts on the state of a given sector or “book report.” We tailor our work, communication, and service to meet the unique approaches and cultures of the deal teams, ICs, and sponsors we work with. The final deliverable synthesizes our outreach, research, and experience into an IC-ready deck.

Key Policy andInvestment Themes

Interoperability on the Horizon

Capstone believes healthcare is in the early stages of digitization with a most healthcare data still fragmented, coming from countless (and growing) sources, stored in numerous formats, and exchanged in multiple ways, creating complexity and opportunity. While the increasing velocity of federal regulation and frameworks is accelerating innovation, we believe complete interoperability is still distant, leaving opportunity for existing vendors. In general, we believe increased data liquidity creates near-term opportunity for analytics-based companies while posing risk to “pipes” companies.​
