Capstone Partners advised Pregistry — a global leader in safety studies during pregnancy — on its sale to CorEvitas, a portfolio company of Audax.
Founded in 2014, Pregistry leverages the expertise of over 75 pregnancy specialists covering a range of clinical, safety, regulatory, marketing, and technology needs to provide information that supports healthy pregnancies and births.
