“We sincerely enjoyed partnering with the team at Caregiver. During our partnership, Caregiver was able to leverage the CEO Council Model to evaluate and enter new geographies through acquisition and leverage Council’s Shared Portfolio Executives to help support its rapid growth. We are excited to watch the company further leverage that foundation as it continues its growth trajectory,” says Eric Keen, General Partner at Council Capital.
