Solarity Announces Strategic Growth Investment from TA
ST. LOUIS, MO and BOSTON, MA – June 4, 2024 – Solarity, a leading provider of automated clinical data processing solutions for acute and ambulatory healthcare providers, announced today that it has received a strategic growth investment from TA Associates (“TA”), a leading global private equity firm. Solarity management and existing private equity partner BV Investment Partners (“BV”) will both roll substantial ownership stakes and welcome TA as the new lead investor.
Solarity’s core solution utilizes proprietary technology to intake unstructured clinical data from a wide range of disparate third-party sources, and then validate and standardize that data so that it can be ingested into a healthcare provider’s electronic medical record (“EMR”) system. By automating a mission-critical interoperability workflow, Solarity increases data accuracy and reduces data processing time, while reducing the manual work required to make clinical information accessible at the point of care. Once integrated into a provider’s data intake workflows, Solarity’s solutions allow physicians to make more timely and informed decisions, resulting in improved patient outcomes and enhanced quality care.
“We are greatly thankful for BV’s continued commitment and are thrilled to welcome TA as a new partner in our mission to revolutionize the healthcare technology ecosystem,” said Andrew Fehlman, CEO of Solarity. “TA’s deep industry knowledge and expertise scaling healthcare technology companies will empower us to expand our market reach and breadth of product offerings, supporting our ability to provide best-in-class indexing automation solutions to our customers.”
“As clinical data density continues to increase, healthcare systems require advanced solutions to streamline their data management processes. Solarity’s automation engine is uniquely positioned to solve this pain point, transforming workflows so providers can process complex data more efficiently,” said Ethan Liebermann, Managing Director and Co-Head of Healthcare at TA. “We look forward to joining forces with the Solarity team and BV to build on Solarity’s strong momentum and further establish its position as a market leader,” added Eric Zagorski, Senior Vice President at TA. As part of the transaction, Ethan Liebermann and Eric Zagorski will join the Solarity Board of Directors.
“We are fortunate to have worked with such a top-notch team over the past several years to scale the business and solidify its market-leading position. There remains substantial market opportunity ahead for Solarity and we’re thrilled to bring on TA to help tackle it,” said Sean Wilder, Managing Director at BV.
Today, Solarity’s solutions are utilized by more than 500 hospitals and 6,000 physician offices across the country to support the delivery of high-quality patient care. TA’s investment aims to accelerate the Company’s organic growth strategies, bolstering its technology offerings and driving continued innovation in its software capabilities, to deliver high ROI and exceptional service to its customers.
Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
