WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Dec. 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Comvest Credit Partners (“Comvest”), a leading provider of flexible direct financing solutions to middle-market companies, is pleased to announce that it has acted as Administrative Agent on a senior secured credit facility (the “Financing”) to CheckedUp (the “Company”), a New York-based provider of digital healthcare solutions, to support the Company’s acquisition of Health Media Network (“HMN”), a Norwalk, Conn.-based provider of digital healthcare solutions and wellness content. The Financing will also be used to support the future growth of the combined platform. CheckedUp is a portfolio company of Rockbridge Growth Equity, a Michigan-based private equity firm focused on the middle market.

In addition, Comvest provided delayed draw commitments for the future growth of the business,” said Tom Goila, a Partner at Comvest and Co-Head of the Healthcare group.

“We are excited for the opportunity to work again with Rockbridge Growth Equity on a meaningful transaction involving a technology-focused portfolio company,” said Joe Higginbotham, a Principal at Comvest. “We look forward to continuing to build our relationship with the Rockbridge team and to supporting CheckedUp as the Company further scales its footprint, technologies and programming to reach an even wider set of healthcare professionals, caregivers and patients.”
