Council Capital

Council Capital is a healthcare-focused private equity firm founded in 2000 and headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, at 30 Burton Hills Boulevard. It invests in and scales lower middle market healthcare services and healthcare technology companies, typically targeting enterprises valued between $10 million and $100 million. The firm makes both control and minority investments and has over $350 million in committed capital under management, alongside a track record of more than 20 years investing in and scaling healthcare companies.

The firm applies a proprietary approach known as the Council Model, which surrounds portfolio company leadership with strategic support drawn from three pillars: the CEO Council, Strategic Healthcare Investors, and an internal Value Creation Team. The model is designed to provide industry knowledge, operational expertise and networks to accelerate growth, with the stated emphasis on supporting existing management rather than replacing it.

The CEO Council comprises 34 or more experienced healthcare executives, who have personally invested over $140 million in the funds and who work directly with portfolio company leadership. Strategic Healthcare Investors provide further strategic support and networks, while the Value Creation Team supplies internal operational expertise and hands-on value creation support.

Council Capital partners with mission-driven businesses positioned on the "right side" of healthcare change, where growth accelerates as cost pressure and quality demands increase. Its work spans healthcare services, healthcare technology and the wider healthcare sector, with technical domains covering healthcare technology, private equity investing, value creation and operational improvement, and growth scaling.
