"Medical expenses and health-related crises are the primary drivers of American bankruptcies. So it’s impacting a tremendous number of citizens across the United States. And I don’t believe it has to be that way."

Our Guiding Principles
Closing the Gap
We are committed to reducing healthcare disparities
A Healthier Future
We are working toward a healthier future for all
The Whole Person
We look at the patient with dignity, respect, and a concern for their whole being
One Patient at a Time
We know we can only reduce national healthcare disparities by helping one patient at a time
How We Invest
We seek competitive risk-adjusted returns by focusing on a patient-centric model of healthcare investing
Three Ways to Work with Pharos
Whether you're allocating capital or building a healthcare company, we start with the same question: Does this serve the communities that need it most?
Investors
Pharos partners with foundations, family offices, and institutional investors who want competitive returns from healthcare companies serving underserved communities.
Founders & Operators
We invest $25 to $50 million in established, U.S.-based healthcare companies positioned to reduce disparities in underserved communities and scale toward a potentially successful exit. If your company fits that profile, we want to hear from you.
Healthcare Partners
If you are a payor, hospital, health system, or governmental agency that services urban, rural, tribal, or other complex underserved populations, we would welcome the opportunity to connect with you. We look forward to sharing existing solutions we have identified, deploying our network, or brainstorming about other challenges you may be facing.
