Francisco Partners and Spectrum Equity Make Growth Investment in GoodRx

GoodRx, America’s leading prescription price transparency platform, today announced an investment from Francisco Partners and Spectrum Equity.

"We are proud to offer solutions that help Americans afford life-saving medications,” said Doug Hirsch, co-CEO of GoodRx. “The U.S. healthcare system can be confusing and opaque. We believe every American deserves a clear, simple way to understand and control their healthcare budgets.”

More than 2.5 million people use GoodRx’s website and popular mobile apps each month. GoodRx helps consumers save up to 80% on their medications by delivering prices and available discounts at nearly every pharmacy in the U.S. Thousands of physicians and employees use GoodRx, and its services have been positively reviewed by Good Morning America, the American Heart Association, The New York Times, ABC News, AARP, Forbes and many others.

“The expertise and resources of Francisco Partners and Spectrum Equity will enable GoodRx to provide information and savings to even more Americans,” added Trevor Bezdek, co-CEO of GoodRx.

Francisco Partners has deep experience in the healthcare and pharmacy IT space through its prior investments in such companies as CoverMyMeds, Aesynt, HealthcareSource and Therapeutic Research Center. Spectrum Equity has a track record of investing in leading consumer internet and healthcare IT companies, including Ancestry.com, SurveyMonkey, Lynda.com and Passport Health.

“GoodRx sits at the intersection of two healthcare megatrends: the ‘consumerization’ of healthcare and demand for greater price transparency,” said Chris Adams, Partner at Francisco Partners. “GoodRx has already gained significant traction, and we look forward to partnering with the existing leadership team to further their vision of making prescription medications more affordable for consumers.”

“GoodRx stands out in the healthcare space because it is building a consumer brand and a healthcare tool that Americans want to use,” said Steve LeSieur, Managing Director at Spectrum Equity. “GoodRx has a tremendous opportunity to serve the mass market and make a real impact on the nation’s healthcare spend.”

Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
