CHICAGO, IL – June 2, 2020 – Ziegler, a national boutique investment bank, is pleased to announce its role in advising Central Logic on its recapitalization by Rubicon Technology Partners.
Central Logic, the healthcare industry’s innovator in patient orchestration and tools to accelerate access to care has secured a strategic majority investment from Rubicon Technology Partners (Rubicon), a leading private equity firm based in Boulder, CO, that is focused exclusively on enterprise software companies. The investment will be used to accelerate Central Logic’s growth through product innovation, sales expansion, delivery and customer support, and the pursuit of acquisition opportunities.

The company’s solutions are critical to health systems as they seek to drive greater cohesion, patient engagement, and resource optimization, particularly in light of COVID-19.

I fully expect that Central Logic will lead that charge as our strategic partnerships with health systems across the country continue to grow.”
“Central Logic delivers compelling clinical, operational, and financial value to health systems, hospitals, and public health entities,” stated Alex Kleiner, Principal, Rubicon. “The company’s highly differentiated and category-defining solution is perfectly positioned in the market for this unique time in the industry. Central Logic’s proven ability to capture market share provides a strong foundation for continued growth, which we plan to aggressively drive with additional cash investment into the business. We are thrilled to begin our partnership with the Central Logic team.” Franks said she is excited about what the future holds with Rubicon. “Now more than ever before, hospitals, health systems, and our public health agencies require the capabilities to leverage and manage all of their resources to ensure that patients get the right care at the right location without delay,” she said. “Rubicon recognizes the important role that Central Logic plays today and shares our vision for the future.”
