Let’s grow your
practice together
A permanent home for your
direct care practice
We bring know-how and capital to help you grow
Your practice remains your practice
Timshel Health is a mission-driven organization that invests in and partners with direct care practices.
Timshel Health is not a private equity firm. Our capital comes from healthcare entrepreneurs and family offices who are mission-aligned and long-term oriented. Unlike other growth partners, we are in it for the long term, and we won’t push you to make shortsighted decisions.
About Timshel Health
-
Americans deserve truly affordably, high quality healthcare. Patients should be able to see their doctor without a middleman getting in the way. At Timshel, clinicians are empowered and patients come first.
-
Leaders of established practices who want to grow their practice and expand affordable, quality healthcare at large. They are great entrepreneurs who may not need us to run their practice today but want a growth partner to make their practice - and the direct care ecosystem as a whole - bigger and better.
-
We design every partnership and deal structure to fit the organizational goals and financial priorities of our partners. We encourage physicians to maintain meaningful equity in their practices, and we can accommodate more flexible deal structures than any other growth partner.
-
Unlike a private equity firm, our investors do not expect a sale or return in the near-term. This enables us to make intelligent, long-term decisions and ensures you won't be quickly passed on to a new owner.
Value Proposition
-
We will invest capital behind your practice, including hire top-tier providers and investing in your sales and marketing efforts. We will invest ahead of growth and help you expand much faster than otherwise possible.
-
In addition to running and growing their own practices, our partners play a key part in the strategy and growth of the broader company.
-
This is not a passive investment. I am a driven entrepreneur with valuable experience that will work hard as a partner to you and your business
-
Timshel is a holding company that emphasizes autonomy to encourage founders to remain entrepreneurial and to respect their practices’ cultures and clinical care. We will lean-in heavily to help you grow, but we won’t tell you how to run your practice

Timshel will support you with technology, business operations, strategy, employer sales, marketing, and hiring:
I grew up wanting to be a doctor but during college fell in love with economics and business. I decided instead to focus my efforts on changing healthcare care delivery and business models. A surprise $3K MRI bill, learning that the out-of-pocket price for physical therapy was cheaper than my insurance copay, waiting four months for a primary care visit, and watching my brother get bounced around mental health providers deepened my conviction that we urgently need to change healthcare.
I joined CVS Health to work on accessible, affordable healthcare at scale. As the youngest director-level employee, I led projects to improve pharmacy operations, launch new services, and expand healthcare access in partnership with Lyft and the YMCA. Seeing impact across 10,000 stores was exciting, but I was limited in many ways and felt a desire to go smaller and more direct.
I worked on startup ideas during my two years at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, including an app that helped employees price shop for direct care services and share in the savings with their employer. Ultimately I decided I wanted to be closer to the care itself, and I launched Timshel Health.
I live in the Bay Area but will always be Midwestern at heart. I am a die-hard Chicago sports fan, avid golfer and camper, and love being outdoors with my wife Rachel and dog Fitz.
About Me
Mac Findlay, Founder & CEO
About the Name
Timshel borrows its name from East of Eden by John Steinbeck. Timshel, a Hebrew word for “thou mayest,” is a motif of the book that celebrates the beauty of the individual and the agency of individuals to choose their own path. We believe the American healthcare system has robbed providers and patients of their agency, and we want to help great healthcare practices in restoring that agency. We look for this ethos in all of our potential partners and how they treat their employees, providers, and patients, and we ensure it remains front and center as they grow and evolve. We bring this ethos to our holding company, where we celebrate the autonomy of each practice partner and empower our employees.
