Caregility Secures $25 Million in Additional Funding

EATONTOWN, N.J., Jan. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Caregility, a company dedicated to connecting care wherever patients are with its Caregility virtual care platform, announced that it has secured an additional $25 million in funding to help accelerate its market growth and innovation. Since receiving an initial investment from Star Mountain in 2019, Caregility has experienced tremendous growth over the past two years, capturing significant market share and industry recognition. In 2021, Caregility's virtual care platform was named Best in KLAS (non EMR), won an Inc. Best in Business award and was named one of the best places to work in New Jersey. The company has seen its customer base expand to more than 87 health systems with its solution used in over 1,300 hospitals. The Caregility platform, which supports their own purpose-built devices as well as standards-based devices, smart phones and tablets, now has over 25,000 endpoints connected to the service with millions of virtual sessions being hosted annually.

"We have accomplished so much with our initial investment," said Ron Gaboury, CEO of Caregility. "We felt it was time to add additional funds to help us expand our team to support the growing base of customers, accelerate sales to new customers and to allow us to drive innovation that lets us capture more market share within health systems."

"Star Mountain has supported Caregility from its inception and we are excited with the performance and growth to date," commented Bruce Eatroff, Managing Director at Star Mountain Capital. "With the rapid adoption of telehealth being seen in virtually every aspect of patient care, we wanted to make sure Caregility had the resources necessary to support its accelerated growth while maintaining its best in market customer satisfaction." Brett Hickey, Founder and CEO of Star Mountain Capital added, "In addition to helping high quality teams like Caregility create economic value for their employees and shareholders, Star Mountain is also passionate about helping make the world a better and safer place and we are excited to assist Caregility in its aligned mission."

The additional funding will be used to expand the Caregility team and allow it to continue to drive its growth initiatives across every aspect of virtual care. In addition, the company will further invest in development to accelerate numerous key initiatives that address additional virtual care workflows. This includes a new offering that will revolutionize the industry's approach to virtual care within the inpatient setting. The new service will enable health systems to quickly deploy a fleet of endpoints without the upfront capital typically associated with healthcare technology solutions. By making it affordable to deploy hybrid care in every room, Caregility will be giving health systems the flexibility to provide a consistent experience across all their virtual care programs without risking healthcare delivery on consumer-grade technology.

"The additional investment from Star Mountain gives Caregility the financial fuel we need to continue our aggressive growth. This investment will provide us flexibility to pursue and expand our strategic relationships as we grow the company and further develop our market leadership position," said Michael Brandofino, President and COO of Caregility.
