Frequently asked questions
What does The McKay Institute invest in?
The McKay Institute targets growth and venture-stage companies within the oncology ecosystem. Its investment thesis centers on community oncology — the independent cancer-care practices that treat the majority of US patients outside academic hospitals. The firm's sector reach includes healthcare services, digital health, practice-management software, and AI/ML applications deployed in clinical cancer-care workflows.
How is The McKay Institute structured?
The firm operates as a specialized private equity platform with offices in New York, Boston, and Nashville. It is not structured as a family office but as an asset manager focused on a single therapeutic area. The firm's website at tnoncology.com reflects this oncology-specific mandate, though the ownership and governance structure remain private.
Does The McKay Institute participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
The firm's investment structure — whether it operates via direct co-investments, SPVs, or committed fund vehicles — has not been publicly described. Based on the firm's narrow oncology mandate, direct or co-investment structures are the most common vehicles for thesis-driven specialist platforms of this type.
