NASHVILLE-based Rockmont Partners' $56.6M GrowthTech Fund I with $70MM assets under management is projected to fund 14 or more new fintech or healthtech portfolio companies.

Rockmont Managing Partners Bo Bartholomew and Brian Fox recently announced that Fund I was oversubscribed beyond its original $50MM target.  VNC originated coverage of the fund in March 2024.

In May 2025, Rockmont announced making its first exit from a Fund I company, after Thoma Bravo acquired Franklin, Tenn.-based fintech HubSync, a tax and accounting automation firm for CPA firms. Related press release.

In building deal flow, Rockmont is geographically agnostic, but the firm avoids auctions by businesses assigned valuations at prohibitive multiples, Fox said when interviewed for this story.

Rockmont strongly prefers deals with founders who are addressing painpoints in operational processes and product-market gaps that have essentially been orphaned or overlooked by investors with little or no healthcare and-or fintech operational experience. 

The team prioritizes founder-led companies that are tech-enabled; have a CEO experienced in the targeted industry; have achieved at least basic product-market fit; are generating at least $1MM annual recurring revenue; and, which have already passed-through the friends-and-family and Angel-funding stages and are seeking professional Series A capital.

Fox added that the company does not invest in businesses with offerings that inherently have heavy regulatory burden, such as medical technologies or biotechnology.

The Rockmont portfolio as-of today (F fintech, H healthcare):

• EvidenceCare - H (Nashville) 
• LabLogs - H (Nashville)
• Monitaur - F (Boston)
• OMNY - H (Atlanta) 
• Provider Trust - H (Nashville)  
• RepScrubs - H (Sanford, Fla., Nashville) 
• ThreadBank - F (Adams, Nashville)

Brian Fox

Fox noted that Rockmont is close to announcing two transactions with fintech companies, one each in New York City and one in Memphis.

Rockmont currently projects Fund I investing in two or more additional portfolio companies by mid-year 2027.

Currently, Rockmont's "first checks" are typically in the $2MM-$3MM range. Fox added, "We reserved 5% of Fund I for Seed-size checks that would be smaller."

Total Rockmont investment in a given portfolio firm is, over time, not likely exceed $5MM, said Fox.

Rockmont has also announced the firm has thus far attracted a total 125 limited partners drawn from 11 states and more than 30 U.S. cities.

The growing ranks of Rockmont's LPs and the Rockmont team's industry and investor networks are driving substantial deal flow and network expansion, Fox said.

Fox explained that in order to avert excessive unsolicited deal flow, access to the Rockmont website's features is currently available only to LPs, portfolio companies' founders, and others already connected in the Rockmont network.

The mantra of the Rockmont team is "People, Purpose, Profit," said Fox.

In addition to the abovementioned Fox and Bartholomew, the Rockmont team includes the following executives:

• Curt Futch Managing Partner 
• John Hazen Senior Associate 
• Melissa O'Neill Chief of Staff
• Baxter Jackson Director, Investor Relations
• Jack Anderson Analyst

The firm's standing advisors include: Joe Cook III ♦ Ryan Flury ♦ Jay Holloman ♦ Milton Johnson ♦ Chris Schellhorn ♦ 

Rockmont's primary legal counsel is Sherrard Rowe attorney Elizabeth Moore.

NOTES

Fox said he and-or Bartholomew individually make periodic personal investments via LP/SPV paths in other funds, for example, Valor Ventures (Atlanta), Tectonic (Boston) and Brickyard (Chattanooga).

Bartholomew is also CEO of EvidenceCare (LinkedIn). Fox is also a venture partner with Valor Ventures and with Nashville-based Caduceus Capital Partners (his LinkedIn).

Rockmont Fund I's oversubscription allowed individual LPs to make additional investment in two companies--RepScrubs and ThreadBank--via special purpose vehicles (SPVs).

In the HubSync-ThomasBravo transaction mentioned above, HubSync's advisors included Kaizen Equity Partners and Taft Law, while Goodwin attorneys advised Thoma Bravo.
