Subject: A new chapter for Weave
Team,
I'm writing with exciting news about the future of Weave.
We just announced that Weave has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Francisco Partners (FP), a leading global investment firm that specializes in partnering with technology and technology-enabled businesses, for $7.40 per share in cash. This values Weave at an aggregate equity valuation of approximately $650 Million. A copy of the press release can be found here.
Since our founding in 2008, we have built something that did not exist before: an always-on teammate for the independent healthcare practices that care for patients in communities across the country. More than 40,000 locations rely on us today, over half of them are using the AI we've built into the platform, and last quarter we added the most new locations ever in a single quarter, both on a gross and net basis.
Importantly, while we will be changing ownership, we are not changing our focus or who we are as a company. To the contrary. As a private company, we will be able to make the long-term investments required to accelerate that work — becoming every practice's newest team member, becoming the default way practices get paid, and establishing Weave with larger group practices. These are multi-year builds. Francisco Partners is an experienced and trusted investor that shares our goals and can provide the resources and expertise to help us achieve them, allowing us to be even more committed to the practices we serve and to innovating on the tools they depend on every day.
For context, Francisco Partners has invested in over 500 technology companies since launching more than 25 years ago, with real depth in both vertical software and healthcare specifically, including companies like AdvancedMD, Office Ally, Nextech, Waystar, Availity, Zocdoc, QGenda and Paradigm. That combination is a big part of why we are excited to partner with them. They understand vertical SaaS, they understand healthcare, and in every conversation we had, they took the practices we serve seriously. It is our firm belief that Weave will continue to thrive under Francisco Partners' ownership, and I'm looking forward to what we can build together.
Please keep in mind that while today marks an exciting milestone, it represents only the first step in the process to complete this transaction. We anticipate it to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by our stockholders and receipt of required regulatory approvals. Until then, we remain an independent, publicly traded company,
and it is business as usual for all of us. The most important thing any of us can do between now and then is stay focused on our day-to-day responsibilities and give our customers the same service and innovation they've come to expect.
We've posted an FAQ here to help answer the questions you likely have right now. I'd also encourage you to join our town hall meeting today at 9:00 a.m. MT, where Jason and I will discuss this in more detail, take your questions, and introduce you to our partners at FP.
You should receive a separate invitation shortly.Thank you for everything you have done — and continue to do — for Weave. The Francisco Partners team was drawn to this company in large part because of the strength of this team, and it is because of your work that we're in the position we find ourselves in today. I hope you share my excitement for the future ahead.
Best,
Brett
