About Us
Aequitas Partners is a boutique, retained executive search and investment firm with a concentrated focus on high growth companies in the Digital Health, Health Tech and Healthcare Services space, working with Venture Capital and Private Equity backed companies as well as Publicly-traded organizations. We help our clients identify, attract, and retain leadership teams that enable them to change the healthcare landscape dramatically, delivering superior results for their investors. Because many of our clients are Venture Capital or Private Equity-backed, we find ourselves in the unique position of being able to be investors in addition to search partners. The result is a dynamic search practice that benefits immensely from its industry focus, and the alignment we create with our clients.
That’s what we are, but equally important is who we are. We’re dynamic and nimble, so you’ll have the opportunity to help shape the organization as we continue to evolve our systems, processes, and strategic initiatives. We’re hardworking and embrace change, but we also know how to have fun, and are careful not to take ourselves too seriously. Healthcare is complex and executive search is nuanced, so we recognize the need to have a constant hunger and curiosity, always wanting to learn more, and driven to move faster. We believe that balance is incredibly important to professional success, and we want to foster an environment that enables people to achieve that. We believe that while work happy hours are awesome, so is disconnecting and spending quality time with your family and friends – away from your team. Our goal is to build a company that is enriching on multiple levels for its employees, while consistently executing on its core mission and delivering for its partners.
Our Core Values
- Integrity: We do the right thing, especially when it’s the hard thing, and learn to embrace challenging situations as an opportunity to prove it.
- Empathy: Ours is a human business, so we treat everyone – internally and externally – with care and compassion, through all of life’s ups and downs.
- Perseverance: We take ownership of our successes and failures, dig deep to stick with it when faced with challenges, and are not only unafraid to ask for help, but believe our biggest failure would be not to.
- Trust: We relentlessly pursue our clients’ trust in us, our candidates’ trust in us, and our trust in one another; we have each other’s backs - we embrace taking thoughtful risks, and take pride in building something special together.
- Curiosity: We treat every day and every conversation with humility and an opportunity to grow; we don’t know everything, don’t know everyone, and don’t have all the answers, but every day we come to work is a chance for more.
- Levity: We don’t take ourselves too seriously, and we get joy from creating delightful experiences for our clients, our candidates and each other; if we’re not challenged *and* having fun, we’re doing it wrong.
About You
You’re driven and looking for a job that’s more than just a job. You’re excited by the prospect of engaging with industry-leading executives, tapping into your innate curiosity to become an expert on new and complex healthcare topics, all while helping to build high-quality companies.
