Choosing between Healthios Capital and TripleTree

Healthios Capital and TripleTree both work in Healthcare Services. Founders running a sell-side process in those categories often see both names on their advisor longlist, which is why this comparison comes up. Both firms position themselves as industry specialist advisors, so the choice is less about category and more about pattern recognition, senior attention, and process fit.

Healthios Capital is headquartered in Chicago, IL and was founded in 2009, while TripleTree operates out of Minneapolis, MN and was founded in 1997. Geography matters here: Healthios Capital's Chicago relationships and TripleTree's Minneapolis relationships will overlap on national strategics but diverge on the regional private equity buyer set most likely to push price. On deal-size focus, Healthios Capital states $10M-$150M while TripleTree states $25M-$300M. Beyond shared coverage, Healthios Capital also reaches into adjacent categories, while TripleTree extends into Healthcare Tech.

For founders deciding between Healthios Capital and TripleTree, the honest recommendation is to take a working session with each named partner before signing. Read the firm-level reviews on BankerNotes for the pattern that matters most: did the partner who pitched the mandate run the buyer calls and final negotiations, or did the work slide down the org chart by week six. That pattern, more than league-table position, is what separates a good outcome from a mediocre one.
