RoundTable Healthcare Partners

RoundTable Healthcare Partners is an operating-oriented private equity firm founded in 2001 and headquartered in Lake Forest, Illinois, focused exclusively on the healthcare industry. The firm partners with owner/founders, family companies, entrepreneurs, and management teams to build strategically stronger healthcare businesses across two primary market segments: Medical Products and Devices, and Pharmaceuticals and Consumer Health.

Within the Medical Products and Devices space, the firm invests in disposables and light capital equipment, medical devices, medical products, diagnostics, dental and dental lab products, laboratory products and supplies, specialty distribution, contract manufacturing, and complementary outsourced services. In the Pharmaceuticals and Consumer Health segment, the firm targets generic pharmaceuticals, specialty pharmaceuticals, probiotics, vitamins, minerals, dietary supplements, skincare, over-the-counter pharmaceuticals, differentiated ingredients, animal health and pet health, contract manufacturing, and complementary outsourced services.

RoundTable's investment philosophy centers on long-term value creation through investment in people, products, and pipeline — rather than financial engineering. The firm works collaboratively with portfolio company management teams across a broad range of operational disciplines, including sales and marketing, pipeline development and R&D, manufacturing capacity expansion, quality and regulatory strategy, finance and ERP infrastructure, and human capital development. The firm has supported over 90 add-on transactions for its portfolio companies, demonstrating deep transactional expertise and established relationships with strategic buyers.

Notable portfolio companies and transactions include Colorescience (a premium skincare and sun protection brand), Designs for Health (a professional-grade nutritional supplements company), Renaissance Lakewood (a pharmaceutical contract manufacturer), and EHOB (a manufacturer of pressure injury prevention and patient positioning solutions). The firm typically structures investments so that RoundTable and its partners — including management teams — hold identical equity securities, aligning incentives across all stakeholders. Partners frequently retain meaningful ownership stakes, creating significant opportunities for value creation. RoundTable also has a unique skillset in executing complex corporate carve-outs, broadening its deal capability beyond founder-led and family-owned businesses.
