“Health plans are increasingly seeking ways to address loneliness and social determinants of health – and to manage costs for complex populations,” said Dawn Owens, TTCP Partner and CEO. “We have followed Pyx Health for several years and look forward to building upon our prior experience with businesses that address social determinants of health, improve health equity, and drive consumer engagement.”
Conor Green, TTCP Partner, added, “We seek to work with founders who have successfully scaled their businesses but are ready for the next stage of growth. We plan to utilize our network of strategic limited partners and relationships across the healthcare industry to raise the profile of Pyx Health.”
Pyx Health Founder and CEO Cindy Jordan’s profound experience with her stepdaughter’s struggle with loneliness led her to create Pyx Health. “Loneliness has now been recognized by the U.S. Surgeon General as a public health crisis. With provider shortages and increased demand for services, the need for a non-clinical, science-based loneliness solution like Pyx Health is greater than ever,” Jordan said. “We are thrilled to have found a like-minded partner in TT Capital Partners. They are not just a source of capital, but provide deep healthcare expertise, operating capabilities, and access to health insurance plans and other potential customers. They are truly in lockstep with both our cultural and business ideals to support our growth and direct meaningful resources to tackle loneliness, where it matters most, for everyone who needs it.”
“Our partnership with Pyx Health draws upon our firm’s success in partnering with engagement and services businesses addressing the complex needs of individuals underserved by our current healthcare system,” said Adam Letson, TTCP Principal. “We are eager to provide our firm’s operational support as the company scales.”
TripleTree LLC served as exclusive financial advisor to Pyx Health. Weiss Brown PLLC and Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck LLP provided legal advice to Pyx Health; and Bass, Berry & Sims PLC served as legal advisor to TTCP. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
