00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: based company. The shares pricing at twenty one to fifty

7
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: last night. They did open below that, trading below that

8
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,560

00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 1: I'm getting ahead of myself here.

13
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:35,239

Speaker 2: Delighted to be here.

16
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 1: First of all, congratulations. I mean, it's always a feat

17
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 1: to bring anything to market, particularly in this environment where

18
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: it's been a lot harder for IPOs to sort of

19
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: get traction here. Why did you feel it was appropriate

20
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: for you to come to market now?

21
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 2: We feel like we're building a durable, high growth, highly

22
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 2: visible business and it's a testament to the work that

23
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 2: we do with over a million providers who use our

24
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 2: software across every setting. Of care. We feel like coming

25
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 2: to market now gives us more awareness of who we

26
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 2: are in visibility to our company. The value that we

27
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 2: bring to providers gives us a sense of credibility as

28
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 2: we work to establish trust with the clients with whom

29
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 2: we serve. And then certainly it's helped us improve our

30
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 2: capital structure. We were able to delever the business through

31
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 2: the proceeds of the IPO. Our investors are in the

32
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 2: business and along the journey with us, believe in what

33
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 2: we're building. We were fortunate to add a number of

34
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 2: additional investors through this process, so we're thrilled.

35
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: You have a lot more investors here. I mean, it's

36
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: a lot different being a public You have a lot

37
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: more people you have to answer to, and that gets

38
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: to be a little bit of a grind versus being

39
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: a public company. Talk to me about the growth strategy.

40
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: This is a company that had at least last year

41
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: roughly allowed eight hundred million in sales. What is the

42
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: growth plan the growth story that you're pitching to investors.

43
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 2: Healthcare is such an important category for all of us.

44
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: The pains that we're helping provider organizations to resolve as

45
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 2: they use our cloud based software platform that by the way,

46
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: has artificial intelligence throughout our platform to automate work, to

47
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 2: prioritize and organize work, and to create operating efficiency. We

48
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: tell that message to clients and potential clients and we

49
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 2: show them a real way to create lasting return on investment.

50
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: And we're fortunate we have referenceable clients. We serve over

51
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 2: a million providers across every setting of care, and we're

52
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 2: market leaders and client satisfaction, So all those things contribute

53
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 2: to strong win rates, long relationships with clients, and that

54
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 2: becomes an important part of our growth story.

55
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 3: EQT is still going to be our largest shareholder, about

56
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 3: a twenty nine percent stake. Also, kind of the pension

57
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 3: p on investment board Bane Capital of Francisco partners, how

58
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 3: much of us, say are they going to have on

59
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 3: day to day operations and how much are they going

Speaker 2: But from the very outset EQT, who I'm very appreciative

63
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 2: of partnering with, they have asked us to behave as

64
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 2: though we're a public company. So we've had a number

65
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 2: of independent board members join our board prior to this event,

66
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,520

68
