Cobalt’s strategic approach adds value for entrepreneurs and co-investors who seek partners bringing more than just dollars to the mix. While we focus on generating superior financial returns, we’re equally passionate about supporting our portfolio companies with unique industry insights and direct access to healthcare leaders, stakeholders and subject matter experts through our affiliation with a leading regional health plan. A Flywheel of Value Creation Cobalt acts as a catalyst for strategic engagement between both the entrepreneurs and corporate partners we serve. Our investment model drives a flywheel of value creation by aligning the strategic priorities of payers and providers with achievement of key commercial milestones for our portfolio companies. Supporting this path for collaboration in both directions is an integral part of our investment process. We start at the earliest stages of evaluating any opportunity -- and continue to work as an active and engaged partner to execute on innovation long after the deal is done.

At the foundation of each of our investments is a commitment to helping our portfolio companies grow so they can better serve employers of all size. Employers make significant investments to make health care more accessible and easier to navigate. Our portfolio companies bring innovations to market that meet some of employers’ most pressing health care needs, including care navigation, advanced primary care, fertility planning and advanced analytics. Here are some of our current key areas of focus: Drug Management: Prices for drugs – particularly in high-cost categories like oncology, obesity and cell gene therapy – are outpacing inflation. We seek investment opportunities that address drug spend and access, with a specific focus on high-cost drugs or conditions that are highly prevalent in employer-sponsored insurance populations. Data and Analytics: Employers need solutions that make the vast amount of available health care data actionable and tailored to their insured populations. As such, we consider investment opportunities that provide the necessary infrastructure and analytic capabilities to impact administrative efficiency or drive improvements in health care quality and price transparency. Small- and Medium-Sized Business (SMB) Solutions: Rising health care costs place a severe burden on SMBs. In fact, the smallest employers are facing the biggest hikes in premium costs. Employers with just 1-10 employees saw a 12% increase in average family plan premiums in 2022. To help navigate this challenge, we weigh investment opportunities that enable SMBs to provide more affordable, high-quality, and equitable health care to employees through new purchasing and coverage models. Behavioral Health: Fragmented solutions have proven ineffective in addressing the behavioral health needs of patients. To help drive change in this area, we’re considering investment opportunities that approach patient care holistically, with behavioral and medical spend linked to create a comprehensive and unified view of the patient. Women’s Health: Despite deep investments in this area from employers, too many gaps in health and access to care still exist. There are opportunities to solve for the discrete, largely unmet, needs of women in the workforce, including but not limited to maternity, menopause, and comprehensive women’s primary care.
