DRI Recruits Executives For Investors That Need New Decision Makers At Their Portfolio Companies

DRI recruits executives on behalf of investors that need to add or replace decision makers at portfolio companies in the technology, GovTech, Fintech (Financial Technology), EdTech (Education Technology), healthcare IT, security and digital health sectors.

Digital Health Recruiters and Executive Search 

DRI headhunters recruit senior leadership and technical talent for public and private companies that VC firms, buyout firms, holding companies and PE firms own equity in. Businesses that PE and VC firms hold an interest in are considered portfolio companies.

While the executive recruiters at DRI occasionally recruit executives and C-level candidates to work directly for PE and VC firms, the “headhunters” at DRI spend more time building health science and technology sales teams, along with highly important technical teams for their portfolio companies.

The management team at DRI was excited to learn in July of 2021, that Mammoth™ Scientific, a health science and technology venture capital firm, launched a $100 million venture capital fund for health science and technology companies who are maturing beyond seed rounds.

Healthcare investment spend by venture capitalists is considered to be an indicator of where current and future technology needs are present in the healthcare sector. Mammoth exists to fund the companies that are creating a healthier, data driven future. The investment opportunity in healthcare alone grew from roughly $10 billion in 2019 to $19 billion in 2020, exceeding 75 percent of the sector’s fundraising across PE asset classes.

Direct Recruiters is an executive search firm that is paid by private equity and venture capital firms to seek out and recruit highly qualified candidates to lead sales teams and senior-level technical teams for portfolio companies in the digital health, healthcare and technology sectors.

It is worth noting that in July of 2021, the PE firm Shore Capital Partners, announced the first and only closings of its fourth institutional healthcare private equity fund, Shore Capital Healthcare Partners Fund IV. The strategic private equity firm focused on microcap investing in healthcare, now manages a total committed capital base of $2 billion.

Dan Charney (DRI President) and Mike Silverstein of DRI, both believe that healthcare can become increasingly resilient, more agile and highly innovative by pivoting towards digitally enabled business strategies with a data-driven core.

VC firms can’t afford to ignore technical recruiting. Mr. Charney also oversees the DRI recruiters that work for private equity firms that invest in telehealth and digital health.

Dan Charney, Mike Silverstein and their fellow executive recruiters at DRI work extremely hard to recruit senior executives for private equity venture capital firms in the United States. Long hours are spent at DRI building executive leadership teams for portfolio companies. Dan Charney and Mike Silverstein work diligently with investors to identify and execute their human capital strategies.

PE and VC firms start by connecting with specialty recruiting firms such as DRI that understand the local market and has experience working with startups. PE and VC firms often outsource their recruiting needs to scale portfolio company growth by hiring third-party recruiting firms such as Direct Recruiters to handle the work.

Experienced executive recruiters at DRI help PE & VC firms achieve their investment goals, maximize the value of their portfolio companies and position them for highly profitable exits.

DRI Helps PE And VC Firms Achieve Their ROI Goals

Return on investment (ROI) is a ratio between net income (over a period) and investment (costs resulting from an investment of some resources at a point in time). A high ROI means the investment's gains compare favorably to its cost.

Private equity (PE) is ownership or interest in an entity that is not publicly listed or traded. A source of investment capital, private equity (PE) comes from high-net-worth individuals (HNWI) and firms that purchase stakes in private companies or acquire control of public companies with plans to take them private and delist them from stock exchanges.

Because private equity (PE) entails direct investment—often to gain influence or control over a company's operations—a significant capital outlay is required, which is why funds with deep pockets dominate the industry.
