McNamara Family Ventures

McNamara Family Ventures (MFV) is a Brentwood, Tennessee-based family investment office providing venture and growth capital exclusively to companies in the healthcare industry. The firm was founded by Kevin McNamara, a veteran healthcare finance executive who served as CFO of HealthSpring Inc. from 2005 to 2009 and oversaw the company's NYSE listing in February 2006. HealthSpring was subsequently acquired by Cigna Corporation for $3.8 billion in 2012, establishing McNamara's track record as an operator with direct experience in building and exiting a scaled healthcare services company. MFV targets Series A and Series B stage investments with check sizes typically in the $1 million to $10 million range. The firm invests across the broader healthcare sector, drawing on McNamara's operating experience spanning healthcare, business services, retail, and manufacturing, as well as significant private equity experience. He holds a BS from Virginia Commonwealth University, an MBA from the University of Richmond, and is a CPA. He currently serves on the boards of Tyson Foods (NYSE), Luminex Corporation, and Leon Medical Centers. The only publicly documented investment is DigiScript (recapitalization, September 2006). MFV positions itself as an active capital provider rather than a passive financial investor, helping portfolio management teams with business plan development, strategic planning, tactical execution, mergers and acquisitions, strategic partnerships, and key talent recruitment. The firm operates quietly within the Nashville healthcare ecosystem, prioritizing a focused mandate over portfolio breadth.
