Pharos Capital Group invests $25 to $50 million in U.S.-based healthcare companies that reduce disparities in underserved communities. The firm provides funding for internal growth, acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, management buyouts, and recapitalizations.

Pharos Capital Group is a private investment firm focused on improving healthcare for underserved areas, including rural towns, urban communities, and Native American Tribal lands. Founded by a former emergency room doctor and his co-founder, the firm applies a clinical lens to its investment decisions. Since 2013, the firm has been 100% healthcare focused, targeting companies that can create sustainable change for patients and value for investors.

The firm typically invests in established companies seeking later stage funding. Beyond providing capital, Pharos brings leadership and resources by sourcing seasoned healthcare operators to work alongside existing management. They also facilitate connections within their portfolio to share best practices and identify synergies.

Pharos operates as a certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE). The firm measures its impact against GIIN IRIS+ healthcare metrics and aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals. Their portfolio companies provide services such as telepsychiatry, behavioral health, at-home dialysis, and preventative diagnostic screenings across the United States.
