IntegriChain and daVIZta Merge, Creating Best-in-Class Payer Data and Analytics Solutions for the Life Sciences Industry
Addresses the Industry’s Gross-to-Net Rationalization and Predictability Challenges

Strengthens IntegriChain’s Comprehensive Life Sciences Commercial Data and Analytics Platform for Payer, Patient, and Distribution

Expands IntegriChain’s Team of World-Class Data Science and Life Science Experts to 220

Philadelphia, PA, March 6, 2019 – IntegriChain, a leading life sciences commercial data and analytics company that helps patients start therapy faster and stay on therapy longer, today announced that it will merge with daVIZta Inc. daVIZta is a leading provider of revenue analytics software, including gross-to-net (G2N) automation and government pricing solutions — key challenges for commercial-stage life sciences companies to ensure access to new and existing therapies — and serves as a trusted partner to large, mid-tier, and emerging life sciences manufacturers. IntegriChain will integrate daVIZta’s G2N and government pricing offerings into its ICyte Platform, strengthening its best-in-class Payer solutions.
“This strategic merger solidifies our position as an access data and analytics leader through the expansion of our solutions platform and our team of data scientists and industry experts,” said IntegriChain Co-Founder and CEO Kevin Leininger. “Gross-to-net is a key industry obstacle for life sciences, with continuous headlines and regulatory uncertainty placing immense pressure on financial modeling and forecasting. We consider G2N a challenge on par with pharma’s patient initiation and adherence challenges, and we are serious about investing in and solving all three. The addition of daVIZta’s payer technology and expertise uniquely positions us to partner with industry to solve the G2N and pricing challenges of today and tomorrow.”
“We are excited to join forces with IntegriChain to overcome the access barriers that manufacturers face in today’s increasingly complex and evolving regulatory environment,” said Shekhar Yerramilli, Chairman and CEO of daVIZta. “IntegriChain offers our customers an extensive access solution platform, delivering unrivaled reporting, analytics, and on-demand data accessibility for all of the data inputs that are central to the G2N challenges we are passionate about solving. On behalf of my Co-Founder Krishnan Padmanabhan and myself, we look forward to working with IntegriChain’s customers on their G2N accrual management, forecasting, and government pricing requirements.”
This transaction is IntegriChain’s third expansion since entering its strategic partnership with Accel-KKR, a leading technology-focused private equity firm, in 2016. This merger creates a team of more than 220 data scientists and life sciences experts, including more than 20 government pricing, commercial contracting, and G2N domain experts focused on the critical dimensions of market access launch readiness, as well as government pricing compliance and G2N execution post-launch.

Seminal Capital Partners: Lets get the band back together again

Seminal Capital Partners is raising up to $150 million for its first fund, according to a regulatory filing. The Radnor-based buyout firm will focus on lower and mid-market cloud software and services companies, and is led by former Actua execs Walter Buckley, John Loftus and Vince Menichelli.

Actua, originally Internet Capital Group (ICG), became defunct last year after disposing of all assets. It had a market capitalization of more than $50 billion before the Internet bubble collapsed. Verticalnet was a major holding. It was a part of an interrelated group of companies ("keiretsu" model ) related to Safeguard Scientifics. Comcast was also an investor. But it slimmed down in the 2000s to a small group of niche Cloud companies, some of which were quite successful.

One important distinction between Actua and Seminal: Actua ((NASDAQ: ACTA) was publicly traded, while Seminal is starting life as a privately held company.



From Seminal's website:

MOORESTOWN, N.J., March 05, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tabula Rasa HealthCare, Inc. (“TRHC”) (NASDAQ: TRHC), a healthcare technology company advancing the field of medication safety, today announced that it has acquired PrescribeWellness (“PW”), a leading cloud-based patient relationship management solutions company that facilitates collaboration between more than 10,000 pharmacies with patients, payers, providers and pharmaceutical companies.

This acquisition supports TRHC’s goals of expanding medication risk mitigation programs in community pharmacies and providing community pharmacists with clinical revenue opportunities beyond dispensing. It also enables TRHC to further participate in Medicare Part D Medication Therapy Management programs, and other similar programs, which require or can benefit from the involvement of community pharmacies. Participation in these programs will allow TRHC to generate revenue from channels that were not previously accessible to TRHC. PW generated revenue of $29.0 million in 2018 and ended the year with annual recurring revenue of $32.0 million.

“The mission of PrescribeWellness, to deliver technology-enabled services solutions to help community pharmacies improve patient care and thrive economically, is very much aligned with TRHC’s mission. We welcome the PrescribeWellness team of over 150 employees and congratulate them on what they have accomplished,” said TRHC Chairman and CEO, Calvin H. Knowlton, PhD. “TRHC has successfully initiated our MedWise™ Medication Risk Identification and Mitigation platform with 400 pharmacists in 300 pharmacies through our participation in Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation’s Enhanced Medication Therapy Management Model Test. PrescribeWellness now catapults our reach to an additional 10,000 pharmacies and more than 15,000 pharmacists. We are excited to begin integrating PrescribeWellness’ talented team, proprietary platform, and network of community pharmacies as part of TRHC’s comprehensive suite of client offerings.”

PW CEO, Al Babbington, who will continue to lead PW following the acquisition noted, “PrescribeWellness was founded in 2010 with the goal to inspire collaboration for better health. We built a nationwide network of pharmacies that are expanding their role to provide preventive healthcare services. The network is within 5 miles of approximately 275 million people, which represents approximately 85% of the United States population. We believe that the opportunity to bring the PrescribeWellness pharmacies the clinical insights and tools that TRHC has created will accelerate the improvement of health in America and drive significantly reduced costs for government programs, health plans and consumers. I am immensely pleased to be a part of TRHC and to continue to expand the footprint and service offerings of PrescribeWellness in concert with TRHC.”

Piper Jaffray & Co. served as exclusive financial advisor to TRHC in connection with the transaction. Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP served as legal counsel to TRHC. First Analysis Securities Corporation served as exclusive financial advisor to PW in connection with the transaction. Cooley LLP served as legal counsel to PW.

Management Conference Call

TRHC’s management will provide additional details on the PW acquisition during a conference call today, March 5, 2019 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Stockholders and interested participants may listen to a live broadcast of the conference call by dialing 844-413-0947 or 216-562-0423 for international callers, and referencing participant code 7069577 approximately 15 minutes prior to the call.

ACG Boston, ACG New York and ACG Philadelphia are teaming up for the 2nd Annual ACG (Association for Corporate Growth) Northeast Industry Tour.

Philly is hosting the first leg, the SaaS & Tech Enabled Services Conference at the Union League on March 12.

Stephanie P. McAlaine, Executive Director of ACG Philadelphia, explained to me in a phone interview that ACG, long a generalist organization, was seeing increased demand among its membership for specialty programs, in this case SaaS and the huge increase in non-tech companies that have come to rely on technology, because that's where many deals are coming from.

Last year the inaugural event drew more than 250 people.


McAlaine sees the opportunity to establish the ACG Philly Conference as the most prominent of its kind on the east coast, where no event dominates. That would have many benefits for the Philly private equity and SaaS communities.

Christian Bullit of Raymond James New York, formerly of LLR Partners, is a lead organizer of the event along with Dan Ryan of Milestone Partners & Peak Equity Partners. Bullett emphasized that the event will draw not only from up and down the east coast, but nationwide. He also made it clear that this is a PE event, not a VC event.

Although this conference has more bankers than company operators, leaders of three exceptional SaaS companies will present: Anaplan, with a recent IPO success, represented by Philly native Paul Melchiorre; Exton's iPipeline, and iCIMS, a big NJ-based SaaS HR venture back originally by Susquehana Growth Equity. Not to omit Malvern's Frontline Education.




Speakers named to date include:


David Badler, Portfolio Operations & Growth, Susquehanna Growth Equity
Robert L. Berstein, Managing Director - Technology Investment Banking, Piper Jaffray & Co.
Christian Bullitt, Managing Director, Raymond James
Jim Catalino, Chief Client Success Officer, Frontline Education
Tony Diodato, AVP, iPipeline
Pete Elkes, CFO, Occasion Brands
Adam Feigenbaum, Chief Customer Officer, iCIMS
Ryan Hays, Director, Lazard
Jerry Huskins, CEO, Fonteva
Reid Jackson, President & CEO, Unison
Paul Melchiorre, Global Customer Officer, Anaplan
Justin Nadile, Vice President, NewSpring
Ian O'Neal, Managing Director, Raymond James
Ken Wasick, Managing Director, Stephens
Don Yount, CEO, Critical Mention

There will also be five roundtable discussion panels, on subjects ranging from eCommerce platform evolution to scaling inside sales groups.

The Conference will take place on Tuesday, March 12 from 10am to 6pm, at the Union League. Members (any ACG Chapter): $195
Non-members: $275


Veeva beats guidance; Announces President Matt Wallach will retire

Veeva Systems, the California-based life sciences cloud company with significant roots in the Philly area, ended another quarter and fiscal year by beating guidance. Fiscal Year 2019 (ending 1/31) total revenues were $862.2M, up 25% Year-over-year; Q4 total revenues was $232.3M, up 25% Year-over-year.

For FY 2019, fully diluted net income per share was $1.47, compared to $0.98 one year ago, while non-GAAP fully diluted net income per share was $1.63, compared to $0.96 one year ago.

Looking to expand beyond life sciences, Veeva says it nearly doubled the base of Veeva QualityOne customers, deepened relationships with early adopters and expanded within its enterprise accounts. So that appears to be a go to market for Veeva.

Veeva (NYSE: VEEV) now has a $17.5 billion market cap. That means its Price / Revenue ratio is about 20x current earnings, which is rather high. (. See how Veeva compares to others in the Bessemer Emerging Cloud Index.)

Saying one is a fan of a company is one thing; saying one is a fan of its stock at any price is another. At this price, I would probably lay off for a while (but I do not have or ever had any holdings in VEEV). Of course, if a serious acquirer came along, It would probably pay more. And to an extent, Veeva's current share price may reflect some acquisition expectations.

Founder and CEO Peter Gassner says Veeva is an anomaly that's never had a "natural acquirer." But there are others who aim to get in the digital health care game in a big way. Mega vendors Google, Apple, Amazon and Microsoft are possibilities. A life sciences giantor major insurer / heath plan combination could also have interest. Oracle (a Veeva competitor in certain areas) and Salesforce would be long shots. A major motivation for launching Veeva was to build something that wasn't Oracle. Gassner was with People Soft (now Oracle) and Salesforce prior to Veeva.

While Veeva has to do what's best for itself, its shareholders and customers, it would be great to see the Veeva story continue to develop under one roof.


Matt Wallach

Another Veeva announcement also made on Friday was the planned retirement of its President and co-founder, Matt Wallach . Walllach will stay on till mid-year and return in 2020 as a board member.

From what I could tell, while Gassner is a visionary leader and database technology expert, Wallach was the guy who made sure Veeva's product / market fit was properly aligned. Wallach, who grew up in the Swarthmore area before attending Yale and Harvard Business School, was able to do much of his work for Veeva from an east coast office in Radnor. I think the story that Wallach, after 12 years, is going to shift gears in life while returning soon to Veeva's board, makes sense.

Gassner said in a release, "Matt has built a very strong leadership team, who will assume his day-to-day responsibilities".

Open Letter to Amazon Chief Executive Jeff Bezos



Open Letter to Amazon Chief Executive Jeff Bezos
Dear Mr. Bezos:New Yorkers do not want to give up on the 25,000 permanent jobs, 11,000 union construction and maintenance jobs, and $28 billion in new tax revenues that Amazon was prepared to bring to our state. A clear majority of New Yorkers support this project and were disappointed by your decision not to proceed. We understand that becoming home to the world’s industry leader in e-commerce, logistics and web services would be a tremendous boost for our state’s technology industry, which is our fastest growing generator of new jobs. As representatives of a wide range of government, business, labor and community interests, we urge you to reconsider, so that we can move forward together. We know the public debate that followed the announcement of the Long Island City project was rough and not very welcoming. Opinions are strong in New York—sometimes strident. We consider it part of the New York charm! But when we commit to a project as important as this, we figure out how to get it done in a way that works for everyone. Governor Cuomo will take personal responsibility for the project’s state approval and Mayor de Blasio will work together with the governor to manage the community development process, including the workforce development and infrastructure investments that are necessary to ensure that the Amazon campus will be a tremendous benefit to residents and small businesses in the surrounding communities. New York attracts the best, most diverse talent from across the globe. We are a dynamic new center of the country’s most inclusive tech economy. We all hope you reconsider and join us in building the exciting future of New York.Sincerely,
