Flashpoint announced its 4th exit in 2023, bringing to a total number of 17. The latest exits yielded returns ranging from 30% to 40%.
Warsaw, 14th December 2023 – Telemedi, leading Polish hybrid healthcare provider and digital health platform, partners with Mavie, an Austrian-based healthcare investor and venture builder. As a long-term partner, Mavie acquires a majority stake in Telemedi and will provide future strategic support to the leading Polish healthtech provider. The two companies plan to work together to achieve sustainable growth. They will focus on expanding the portfolio and exploring new markets. A group of early investors including Flashpoint, Adamed investing through a dedicated fund, Docplanner, Black Pearls VC, PKO VC, and UNIQA Ventures have participated in the sale.
“During the pandemic, it became obvious that people need democratized access to telemedicine and that Telemedi is in a pole position to provide that. We were impressed with the execution capabilities of Pawel and the team and believe that a partner like Mavie will propel them to the next level. This exit was a textbook example of a value-add acquisition where the parties reinforce each other to build a true market leader.” Alexander Konoplyasty, Managing Partner of Flashpoint Venture Capital
“In Poland, telemedicine is an important pillar of healthcare. 80% of Poles rely on it. We have been active in this area since 2014 and it has grown strongly in recent years. We have extensive experience with what is needed and accepted by patients. More than 300,000 patients rely on our services, and we process around half a million medical inquiries every year. We are a trusted partner for all major Polish insurance companies helping them to operate their health insurance products as well as for the public sector. I am pleased that with Mavie we have a partner to strengthen our base, offer new services, and bring our know-how to other markets,” says Paweł Sieczkiewicz, founder and CEO of Telemedi.
