Impact

For Echo, investing is more than writing a check. It is committing resources and insights to entrepreneurs and the Echo Innovation Alliance to help them build impactful partnerships. We believe that achieving positive impact is not a solo effort. It takes Echo, our Alliance health plan stakeholders and our portfolio companies working together to create the right conditions to scale innovation and drive impact.

Alongside our industry partners, we advance impact by:

• Fostering new and existing relationships among leaders.
• Increasing the flow of information and learning between our Alliance health plans and portfolio.
• Measuring outcomes related to healthcare affordability, access and quality.

Echo continues to refine how we define, measure and communicate impact. In the broader market, we advance impact by:

• Continuing to deliver on what works and answering what we, as investors, are doing to proactively advance positive impact.
• Committing to being transparent about the impact our investments generate and learning from others across the ecosystem.
• Participating in the Duke-Margolis Capital Impact Council, a group of mission-aligned private equity investors and healthcare leaders dedicated to building better tools, frameworks and strategies for measuring positive outcomes in healthcare.
