Banneker Partners

Banneker Partners is a San Francisco-based private equity firm that invests selectively in enterprise software, including healthcare technology platforms. The model is concentrated rather than high-volume: the firm makes a small number of investments per fund and works closely with management on operational improvement. Healthcare IT software is a focus area, but AI is not called out as a dedicated thesis in the source data.

Check sizes range from $5M to $25M, with US-focused deployment. The firm engages at growth stage, typically into bootstrapped or lightly funded software businesses with durable revenue rather than high-burn venture-stage companies. Specific portfolio names in the healthcare AI segment are not provided in the source data.

Banneker is potentially interesting for healthcare software founders who have built capital-efficient companies with strong retention and are looking for a control or significant minority partner to drive the next phase. Early-stage venture-funded AI founders are not the target. Approach when the company is profitable or near-profitable and the question is who to partner with on a recapitalization.
