Our congratulations to Forcura on this great outcome.    We partnered in 2020 with Forcura founder Craig Mandeville to accelerate the company’s growth and to help Craig and the Forcura team scale the business. Today Forcura is a category leader in the homecare software space with a strong vision and focus on innovation, including AI capabilities, to improve patient outcomes and drive business performance for providers who care for these patients. It has been a great partnership, and we are excited to see what the company will achieve in its next phase of growth together with Medalogix.   This marks AKKR’s 5th exit in the past 15 months.   #growth #AdvanceYourJourney

This #GivingTuesday, we’re reflecting on several causes that we had the honor of supporting:   We donated laptops to two youth organizations— Generation United States and Oakland Lacrosse Club —to help bridge the digital divide and empower students on their technology journeys.   We also partnered with Boys & Girls Club of America in a multi-city, multi-program initiative that brought our teams together for a common cause. From New York to the West Coast, our teams volunteered with local clubs on student enrichment activities such as homework help, goal setting, after-school games, fall festivities and assembling several hundred swim totes for students. Even our non-US based colleagues joined in on the fun by participating in online fundraisers. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve others and give back to our communities. By empowering youth and supporting meaningful initiatives, we hope to do our part in supporting the next generation to achieve their goals. #advanceyourjourney #growth
