Why health AI unicorn Innovaccer is making acquisitions and raising secondary rounds instead of chasing an IPO
Briefly

Innovaccer plans two to three acquisitions in the coming months while keeping IPO plans off the near-term agenda. The 11-year-old healthcare AI company has used secondary transactions to prolong private-market life, including a January $275 million raise with nearly $100 million in secondary sales and a $50 million tender offer funded by Series F investors.

Rising private-market depth and stricter public-IPO expectations are enabling longer-term strategic investments instead of an immediate public listing.
