Canaccord Genuity is pleased to announce it has advised Apollo Intelligence, a leading provider of real-time data and insights to the healthcare and life science industries, on its sale to Frazier Healthcare Partners, a Seattle-based, healthcare-focused private equity firm.

Apollo Intelligence’s mission is to accelerate health innovation to improve life. The company was founded in 2019 by a group of experienced industry leaders and investors. The Apollo platform launched with its acquisition of InCrowd, a pioneer of real-time, automated insights for the life science industry, as the founding company. In 2020, the company acquired Survey Healthcare Global, a global market leader of first-party healthcare data collection and custom survey solutions, to complement InCrowd and strengthen its global reach. Through these innovative solutions, Apollo is executing its mission to accelerate health innovation to improve life—creating new, high-quality paths to research and insights.

Apollo’s unique integration of healthcare stakeholder access, powerful tech-enabled analytic tools, and domain expertise enables global healthcare organizations to develop, refine, and deliver life-changing innovations. Apollo provides access to 2 million healthcare stakeholders worldwide, including physicians, patients, caregivers, and allied healthcare professionals. Apollo’s 220+ employees support top global pharmaceutical brands, market research agencies, and consultancies across 13 different countries in the Americas, Europe, and Asia.

As a leader in providing rapid insights that accelerate time to market for life science companies, Apollo is at the forefront of technological innovation within healthcare market research. Apollo will continue to focus on elevating industry standards for research and data-driven insights. The new relationship with Frazier will fuel innovation and scale, extending Apollo’s value to healthcare and life science clients.
