Fintech, Market Update, New M&A Addition, Newsletter 0 Comments

Dear Clients and Friends: The Fintech M&A Report found here tracks deals and trends in the seven sectors of the fintech universe that we follow, and sometimes lead. Please find it here.

Healthcare IT, Healthcare Newsletter, Newsletter 0 Comments

Dear Clients and Friends, Please click here for our March 2017 HIT Market Update. Last week we attended HIMSS, the largest HIT conference. Although we were warned that the mood could be somewhat subdued, and despite a few cautionary signs, we came back inspired by the technologies we saw, the entrepreneurs we met and the outlook for the future. Here are a few of our observations. 1. Most vendors appeared cautiously optimistic. Whether TrumpCare repeals or replaces ACA, people believe that the same IT sectors such as data integration, analytics, care management, and consumer technologies will remain as key priorities…
