MISSISSAUGA, ON – February 1, 2017 – PointClickCare Technologies, the leading provider of cloud-based software and services designed for the long-term post-acute care (LTPAC) and senior living markets, announced today that it closed an $85 million round of financing. The round was led by Dragoneer Investment Group with JMI Equity, an existing investor since 2011, also participating. Dragoneer, a long-term-oriented public and private investment firm based in San Francisco, has an extensive track record of investing in high quality growth companies including: Uber, Airbnb, New Relic, Atlassian, and AppFolio.
With this financing in place, PointClickCare further accelerates its focus on delivering innovative solutions to its customers and end markets.
“The macro demographics of the aging population, combined with a market-wide shift in payment models, is placing new demands on providers of senior care and services while opening up new opportunities for PointClickCare to help serve these needs in the years to come,” said PointClickCare founder and CEO, Mike Wessinger. “Dragoneer is an investment partner with significant experience investing in technology companies around the world. This partnership will enable us to more quickly take advantage of ways to help our customers thrive given the unique challenges facing the global healthcare industry.”
Recently recognized by Forbes Magazine as one of the top 100 private cloud companies globally, PointClickCare delivers a cloud-based software platform designed to help Skilled Nursing, Senior Living and Home Health Care providers achieve better business results while helping their residents and clients achieve a higher quality of life. Since first launching its SaaS-based electronic health record and revenue cycle management solution in 2000, PointClickCare has marked an impressive and sustainable growth path. 2016 was a record year for PointClickCare with revenues exceeding $160 million, representing 28% year over year profitable growth.
“When we considered the wave of baby boomers now approaching retirement age, new government mandates attempting to control ballooning healthcare costs, and increasing consumer demand for more flexible ‘aging in place’ services, the opportunity for PointClickCare became obvious,” said Marc Stad, Founder and Managing Partner of Dragoneer Investment Group. “Given the powerful macro trends impacting the global health industry over the next decade, we believe there is a natural union between Dragoneer’s patient investment approach and PointClickCare’s desire for a long-term partner to help them maintain their leadership across their end markets. We are thrilled to add PointClickCare to our investment portfolio.”
With this latest round of funding, PointClickCare becomes the most recent example of a growing trend among technology companies – to stay private longer.
“We are not ruling out the public markets as a financing option to fuel future expansion,” comments Wessinger. “But our track record of successfully delivering sustainable growth has put us in an enviable position for any private technology company – to execute an IPO only when the market conditions offer the most favorable opportunity for our business, our customers and our investors. In other words, we can afford to wait until the timing is right for us.”
