Leaders in Healthcare Growth Investing: Spectrum Equity’s Jeff Haywood and Steve LeSieur

Jeff Haywood and Steve LeSieur, the co-heads of healthcare investing at Spectrum Equity, share insights into their successful partnership and investment approach. They concentrate on software and data-driven healthcare companies that enhance patient outcomes and broaden access to care, steering clear of reimbursement-focused models. Their strategy revolves around key themes, sustainable business models, and a long-term vision. They are open to investing in companies that have a solid product-market fit but may lack robust infrastructure, and they prioritize collaborating with founders who align with their goals. The success of their firm stems from a strong partnership culture, a consistent investment strategy, and a commitment to nurturing long-term relationships with both their portfolio companies and their teams.
