Early-stage venture capital fund, VenturEast and Healthcare Private Equity fund, InvAsent have exited from US-based Comprehensive Prosthetics and Orthotics (CPO) in a financial secondary. CPO has raised a new round of growth capital led by NorthCreek and Parkway Partners. 

CPO, co-founded by Amit Bhanti raised its first institutional round from early-stage venture fund VenturEast when the company started out in Peoria.  

The Company used the capital raised from VenturEast and InvAscent to expand in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Missouri to break into the top 7 O&P companies in the United States. Along its growth journey, the Company acquired 4 different O&P practices to reach 35+ clinics and into the top 7 O&P practices in the US.  

The Company in its statement said that it has identified key technology workflow gaps that were not addressed by tech providers around claims management and collections.  

The Company has also scaled its Revenue Cycle Management practice with a sizable captive workforce in India, it added. 

"The investors’ unwavering belief in our potential has been instrumental in transforming CPO into a beacon for Patient Care, Professional Integrity and Sustainable Profitability. As they transition out, we stand as a testament to their commitment to nurturing compliance-driven excellence, poised for new horizons of success." said, Amit Bhanti, Founder of Comprehensive Prosthetics and Orthotics
