#24: The Resilience Lab x Options MD acquisition
Company backgrounds, deal breakdown and what needs to happen to realise the value of this deal
Hi friends,
Yesterday, Resilience Lab announced its acquisition of Options MD.
The initial reporting covered the high-level details of the acquisition.
But are we happy with high-level details on something this interesting?
Of course not!
I wanted to go deeper, looking closely at the backgrounds of each company, what this deal really means and what will happen next.
I’ve spent some time chatting with folks from both companies and today, I share what I’ve learned.
We’ll cover;
The TLDR; my take on this deal and what it means for both companies
The Background: What you need to know about Resilience Lab and Options MD
The Deal: Deal breakdown and how it aligns with Resilience Lab’s strategic vision
The Future: What needs to happen to deliver real value from this deal (and some of the risks they’ll face)
Cool read! Options MD feels like it really hits a pain point for people - I hear plenty of stories of people feeling like they have no options, and having a website which details all the alternatives + 1wk booking is awesome.
Makes me wonder why equivalents, beyond your typical telehealth, don't exist in ANZ (as far as I'm aware) - I'd assume insufficient market size/less mature tech capacity?
