Our Firm
As Invested as You Are
We understand what your company can come to mean to you over time —the value of not just the product or service but the people. That’s why we want to help you grow even more: to become a leader in the market and create substantial value for you, your employees and your industry.
Growth Is More Than Just a Bump in Revenue
Within WCAS, we believe true growth extends far beyond revenue figures. It comes from building businesses the right way—turning operational challenges into opportunities and leveraging our deep sector experience across Healthcare and Technology to create substantial value for sellers, shareholders, customers, patients and providers.
We look for management teams ready to embrace this philosophy—fellow growth-oriented operations that understand the importance of not only making the right acquisitions and strategic decisions but also refining a service or experience to be the absolute best it can be.
Rooted in Relationships
Backed by Decades of Experience
Since 1979, we’ve built this firm our way—keeping relationships at the foundation of our business with integrity, honesty and transparency firmly at the core. We call this the Welsh Carson Way. And for over four decades, it’s helped us create enduring connections with executives, business owners and thought leaders across Technology and Healthcare.
The People Behind WCAS
An organization is nothing without its people. Luckily, we have some of the best. From Tech to Healthcare, our people have been there— they have built that level of knowledge and have an always-willing-to-learn attitude.
Driving Change, Together
At WCAS, we drive change through sustainability and inclusivity, with ESG and DEI programs dedicated to building a brighter future for all. Learn more about the ESG and DEI efforts across our firm and portfolio companies.
