“We are grateful to all of our investors for their support and commitment,” said Grant Jackson, Council Capital’s managing partner. “Exceeding our target, while adding a number of leading institutional and strategic healthcare investors is a testament to the strength of our team and the CEO Council business model, which we will continue to utilize to support our portfolio companies by helping drive their growth and increase their equity value.”
