The award-winning HealthRules platform is available via the HealthEdge cloud or on-site deployment.

David Eichler, Managing Member of Psilos, stated, "Due to our longstanding relationship with Fifth Street, we know we have a dependable lending partner who will place our needs at the forefront. We not only value the substantial balance sheet of Fifth Street's overall platform, but also their creativity in structuring a flexible solution and speed of execution."

"Venture debt represents a natural extension of the Fifth Street platform," commented Michael David, a 20-year industry veteran who heads Fifth Street Technology Partners, adding, "Many financial sponsors offer both small cap private equity and growth stage venture capital and we want to support multi-segment sponsors' complete set of needs. This professional investor-driven approach has become one of our most admired traits—and aligns perfectly with SVB, our partner in this deal and an industry-leading bank."
