Episode Overview:
Healthcare investment banking has long followed a volume-driven, cookie-cutter model that prioritizes transactions over transformative outcomes.
Our next guest, Sam Libby, is changing that paradigm as founder and President of TCB Capital Advisors. With over 30 transactions totaling more than $20 billion, Sam brings a mission-driven approach to underinvested healthcare areas like oncology, women’s health, and neurodegenerative diseases.
After experiencing healthcare’s systemic inefficiencies firsthand during his own patient journey, Sam founded TCB to reject traditional banking models in favor of long-term partnerships that embed early with management teams. His unique three-vertical approach combines banking expertise, clinical advisory, and commercial operations to drive both patient impact and financial success.
Join us to discover how Sam’s stewardship mindset is empowering healthcare pioneers to scale life-changing innovations. Let’s go!

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
