C Bio Investors
C Bio Investors manages the CoverMyMeds founders' $1.4B McKesson exit, concentrating on early-stage healthcare and technology ventures.
C Bio Investors
C Bio Investors was formed following the 2017 sale of CoverMyMeds, the electronic prior-authorization platform co-founded by Matt Scantland and Sam Rajan, to McKesson Corporation for $1.4 billion. The firm manages the proceeds of that transaction and functions as the single-family office for the founding principals, with a footprint spanning Columbus, Dublin, and Philadelphia. The office deploys capital primarily into early-stage and growth healthcare technology, digital health, and AI-driven life-sciences ventures. Its mandate spans direct equity investments, co-investments alongside venture funds, and selective fund commitments. Portfolio exposures, while privately held, are concentrated in the operational layer between payers, providers, and pharmaceutical fulfillment — a direct extension of the founding team's domain expertise. The geographic focus is North America, with a concentration in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic health-tech corridors. The firm operates with a lean structure, typical of post-exit single-family offices where the principals remain actively engaged in sourcing and underwriting. The office maintains a low public profile, does not publish a website, and has not disclosed aggregate assets under management or total deployment to date. In 2023 the firm participated in seed-stage rounds for several AI-enabled clinical-workflow startups, according to regulatory filings. The family office's structural differentiator is its embeddedness in the healthcare-IT operator network that scaled CoverMyMeds: the principals' relationships with health-system executives, EHR vendors, and pharmacy benefit managers create a specialized deal-origination channel unavailable to generalist venture firms. There is no publicly disclosed philanthropic foundation or adjacent investment vehicle, suggesting the office operates as a unified balance-sheet investor.

Who runs investment decisions at C Bio Investors?
Investment decisions are made by CoverMyMeds co-founders Matt Scantland and Sam Rajan. Scantland served as CEO of CoverMyMeds through its acquisition and remains the most visible principal. The office has not disclosed whether it employs a dedicated chief investment officer or a professional investment team, suggesting the founders remain directly involved in underwriting.
How is C Bio Investors related to CoverMyMeds?
C Bio Investors is the family office of CoverMyMeds' founding team. CoverMyMeds, an electronic prior-authorization platform for prescription drugs, was acquired by McKesson Corporation in 2017 for approximately $1.4 billion. The proceeds from that sale constitute the liquidity base from which C Bio Investors deploys capital.
What investment stages does C Bio Investors typically target?
The firm focuses on early-stage and growth equity investments, particularly seed and Series A rounds. Its activity concentrates on companies operating at the intersection of healthcare delivery, technology, and artificial intelligence — areas where the principals can apply their operator knowledge to diligence and portfolio support.
Does C Bio Investors participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
C Bio Investors engages in direct equity investments, co-investments alongside venture capital firms, and selective commitments to venture and growth-equity funds. The blend allows the office to access deals sourced through established GP relationships while retaining discretion to lead or co-lead rounds directly.
Where does the underlying wealth come from?
The wealth originated from the 2017 sale of CoverMyMeds, a healthcare-technology company headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, to McKesson Corporation. The $1.4 billion transaction provided the founding shareholders with the liquidity that C Bio Investors now manages.
