Rivalry Capital Launches as Next-Generation Private Equity Firm Focusing on Healthcare Transformation

Rivalry Capital today announced its official launch, introducing a next-generation private equity firm that combines applied mathematics and artificial intelligence with operational depth and clinical expertise. Founded by Jim Chandler CFA, Matt Young MBA, Robert Moghim MD, and Kian Modanlou MD, the firm uses a disciplined, system-based investment approach to identify and accelerate growth in transformative companies reshaping healthcare.

“Healthcare will evolve more in the next five years than in the previous two decades,” said Jim Chandler. “Rising systemic demand for greater efficiency, transparency, and accountability has been fueled by a lack of viable alternatives to replace antiquated systems and processes. We see significant growth opportunities emerging as proven alternatives are introduced and adopted at scale.”

Dr. Robert Moghim added, “Our healthcare system has become increasingly fragmented, inflationary, and difficult to navigate. We want to partner with exceptional leaders and companies delivering real improvement to stakeholders across the entire care ecosystem.”

With a track record of driving more than $450 million in cumulative exits throughout their careers, the founding partners provide the foundation for Rivalry Capital’s rigor and credibility.
