Industry Trends

Healthcare Startups May Turn to Traditional Banks

Healthcare startups could start looking to traditional banks for funding after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Signature Bank. The fall of SVB created a gap in the life sciences startup sector, locking out funds for some companies temporarily and cutting off a source of short-term cash for healthcare startups. This comes as healthcare funding has declined and IPOs have stalled, prompting startups to conserve cash and seek ways to extend their runway.1

Pfizer to Acquire Seagen

Pfizer announced their $43 Billion planned acquisition of Seagen, Inc. to expand their reach into cancer treatment. The purchase will combine Seagen's technology with Pfizer's scale and capabilities to strengthen Pfizer's oncology division, which already includes prostate and breast cancer treatments, and bolster Pfizer's patent protection from cheaper competition in the coming years. The boards of both companies unanimously approved the deal, which is expected to close in late 2023 or early 2024.2

Private Equity Add-ons Expected to Drive M&A Activity in the Healthcare Industry

Focused on driving cost-efficiency in the healthcare system, private equity firms have increasingly focused investments in lower-cost, more convenient, and higher-quality care in outpatient service settings. While the trend is anticipated to continue in 2023, private equity investors are expected to focus on expanding existing healthcare platforms, with smaller add-ons to existing practices, over the next year, according to a report by Grant Thornton. Larger healthcare deals might stall until interest rates and valuation expectations decline.3

CVS Completes Acquisition of Signify

CVS completed its acquisition of Signify for $8 billion, expanding its presence in the home healthcare sector and value-based care strategy. The move adds 10,000 clinicians to CVS's network, providing quality care and engagement for Medicare Advantage clients. Signify's technology helps coordinate in-home care for providers, plans, and employers. The acquisition underwent regulatory scrutiny, including a second request from the Department of Justice. Signify will continue operating as a payer-agnostic business under CVS.4
