Over the past few years, there’s been a notable surge in investment dollars directed towards companies specializing in value-based care. Investment in companies that enable value-based care increased more than 400% between 2019 and 2021, according to a McKinsey analysis.
This investment trend has only continued in 2022 and 2023. On Sunday, a value-based care startup announced that it had completed one of the biggest venture funding rounds in healthcare’s recent history — Main Street Health closed a $315 million fundraising round, bringing its total funding to about $342 million. What separates the Nashville-based startup from other startups enabling value-based care — such as Aledade, Pearl Health and Privia Health —is that it is solely focused on bringing value-based care models to rural communities.
