Main Capital sells TPSC to PE-backed Symplr
Main Capital Partners has sold Dutch compliance software developer The Patient Safety Company (TPSC) to US-based healthcare software developer Symplr, which is backed by Clearlake Capital and SkyKnight Capital.
Symplr expects to further expand its healthcare governance, risk and compliance platform by including patient safety and incident tracking and reporting.
It also plans to enlarge its offering by addressing the full spectrum of healthcare labour regulatory requirements, while also improving patient outcomes and quality of service.
Furthermore, the combined group intends to drive consolidation in the industry, accelerate its organic growth and penetrate new markets.
Main Capital acquired a majority stake in TPSC in June 2014 via its €40m Main Capital III fund.
