Seeking Feedback: AI-Enabled Healthcare Acquisition Platform

My goal is to build a scalable, tech-enabled healthcare platform that combines recurring service businesses with AI-driven efficiency — starting with one profitable clinic and expanding through further acquisitions and operational improvements. I’m searching for a profitable healthcare clinic ($750K–$2M EBITDA), typically trading at 2–4× EBITDA, as the first acquisition in an AI-enabled structure that blends investor capital and seller financing to deliver stronger returns and more consistent operations. As an example, a $1M EBITDA clinic purchased for around 3× EBITDA ($3M enterprise value) using roughly 70% investor equity and 30% seller financing would have an on-site GM / office manager earning about $65K to manage day-to-day operations (billing, staffing, scheduling). I’d focus on expansion, AI optimization, and growth, earning around $85K — bringing total management cost to ~$150K, similar to a traditional CEO salary but with stronger oversight and scalability. Each location would have its own GM / office manager, enabling efficient multi-clinic management as the platform grows. Initial focus areas: • Dermatology & aesthetics — high-margin, recurring, and cash-pay services • Psychiatry & behavioral health — stable recurring demand and telehealth scalability • Specialty outpatient clinics (e.g., hormone therapy, pain management, allergy, sleep medicine) — strong patient retention and operational leverage I come from a background in AI, private equity, and entrepreneurship, focused on using technology and data to optimize real-world operations. The plan is to drive value through operational optimization, client retention, new growth initiatives, integrated marketing, and AI automation — leading to consistent margin expansion, multiple uplift, and strong year-over-year growth across each acquired unit. The structure offers a 10% preferred return and a 70/30 profit split, targeting 35–45%+ IRRs and 25–35%+ annual cash yields, compared to the ~8% preferred return and 20–30% IRRs typical in traditional or self-funded searches. It’s just an early idea — I’d love to connect with investors interested in discussing this model, or operators who’ve explored something similar, and welcome any feedback in general. Thanks for reading.
