Health Catalyst to Raise $150M to $200M in IPO
Share listing would bring company with patient health-record data to public markets
Health-data company Health Catalyst Inc. is planning to raise $150 million to $200 million in its initial public offering, according to people familiar with the matter, bringing one of the first digital-health companies to public markets as technology startups race to list shares. Health Catalyst, a health-data storage and software company, said in mid-April it had confidentially filed paperwork with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the IPO. The filing follows Health Catalyst’s latest fundraising earlier this year, which valued the company at $1 billion. Valuations and amounts companies seek to raise can change as they get closer to going public. The Salt Lake City company is one of the latest technology firms aiming to go public this year. Ride-hailing rivals  Lyft  Inc. and Uber Technologies Inc., online image board  Pinterest Inc. and workplace-messaging app Slack Technologies Inc. have entered public markets—or plan to—in 2019.
