Invest in Zocdoc
Zocdoc is an online platform where patients can find the right specialist, make an appointment and get a video consultation. The company was founded in 2007 and is headquartered in New York.
The platform was a leader in the market of online medical appointments, and during the pandemic, Zocdoc entered into a partnership with Twilio and entered the fast-growing telemedicine market. The company has launched the Zocdoc VideoService (VSP) that helps patients communicate with specialists without risks, get consultations and monitor treatment progress online. Zocdoc has become one of the few digital medical platforms providing for both face-to-face and online medical consultations.
Using Zocdoc, 10,000 providers have carried out nearly one million video appointments across 100 specialities. In May 2020 the company’s founder and CEO Oliver Kharraz told Engadget that video visits now account for 30 to 40 percent of overall bookings, up from “essentially zero at the beginning of March.”
The global telemedicine market size is expected to reach $155.1 billion by 2027, expanding at a CAGR of 15% over the forecast period. Increasing incidences of chronic conditions and rising demand for self-care medicines are the key factors driving the market.
Digital health funding has hit record levels propelled by the technology boom during the COVID-19 pandemic. Total corporate funding for digital health including venture capital, debt and public market financing reached $21.6 billion in 2020, which is up 103% compared to $10.6 billion in 2019, according to a year-end report by the research firm Mercom Capital Group
Intense competition: the market is invaded by a growing number of businesses/ telemedicine services.
Possibly limited growth potential. As Zocdoc has already tapped into most major US metropolitan areas, further expansion in the US may be constrained.
Zocdoc has reported strong growth, with annual revenue up by more than 35% before the pandemic and despite the disruptions provoked by the pandemic, the company’s on track to reach a new record revenue.
In November 2021 the company announced a $150 million investment round from Francisco Partners, the total valuation being undisclosed. In February 2021 the valuation was about $2.6 billion.
As of November 2021 Zocdoc has raised a total of $375 million in funding over 10 rounds from Goldman Sachs (invested in Alibaba, Spotify, Pinterest), Peter Thiel's Founders Fund (invested in Airbnb, SpaceX, Lyft), Yuri Milner's DST Global Fund (invested in Facebook, Spotify, Flexport, Robinhood) and others.
United Traders analysts are in continuous search for OTC offers studying financial reporting, companies’ businesses, their future plans, analyzing them as potential acquisition targets or estimating prospective multifold capitalization increase as well as considering risks that may hinder business growth. The best ideas are offered to our investors.
As part of our service for purchasing shares on the over-the-counter market (pre-IPO, OTC), for its traders and investors United Traders buys units in funds that own equity stakes in private companies. These funds make early-stage investments in private companies or acquire equity stakes from employees of such companies.
United Traders will have shares at its disposal after the IPO. The shares can be sold after the established 6-month Lock-up period. Alternatively, the shares can be hedged for the above period. Prior to the company going public United Traders look for exit options in the OTC market. If we find a great offer, we sell the shares.
After the Lock-up period is over, the investment in pre-IPO or OTC will be automatically closed, and generated profits are credited to your account less the applicable UT fees. We offer an opportunity for investors with over $100,000 invested in a specific idea to search for a counterpart in the OTC market individually and to take profits before the company goes public and thereby exiting the trade prior to the Lock-up period expiration.
Although it is prohibited to sell shares within the Lock-Up period, our traders find ways to take profits for our investors using various financial instruments: forwards, options, short selling trades, etc.
For an investor the above means that the pre-IPO or OTC investment may be exited after paying a part of its value, usually around 15% which is caused by highly-priced instruments used to close the position. To do so, you should press the respective button in your members area as soon as it becomes active.
The exiting process is similar to making a new investment. You submit a request, we execute it within 1 business day, and your investment is closed at the current exchange price.
ENTRY FEE
3.5% of the share purchase amount. The fee is charged at confirmation of your investment bid.
EXIT FEE
0.5% of the share sell amount after the trade. The fee is charged at the investment exit.
SUCCESS FEE
20% of the profit gain. The fee is charged only if the trade is profitable at the time of exiting.
EARLY EXIT FEE
Usually a 15% fee is charged subject to the actual situation at the exchange. The fee is calculated individually for each investment.
WE ARE A RELIABLE PARTNER
Our risk managers will support you throughout the entire transaction life.
HIGH PROFITABILITY
Venture investing is very risky as they involve new or growing companies, and multifold increase in capitalization is expected. We prioritize companies at the pre-IPO stage as they already demonstrate strong financial indicators and plan to go public soon. This approach allows limiting hyper-risks related to insolvency of new companies and substantially increasing profits as compared to investors who buy shares through a subscription just before the IPO.
LOW ENTRY THRESHOLD
To buy the OTC stocks, one would need millions of dollars. We gathered a pool of traders and investors allowing everyone interested to join similar transactions with as much as $10.
United Traders is experienced in minimizing risks but a future investor should be aware of all risk types:
- Illiquidity. There is a possibility that early exit from this investment will take more than 1 month.
- Asymmetric information. Management and current investors have access to more internal information about the company than other market participants.
- Time uncertainty. There is no information regarding next financing round or exit strategy timeframe (IPO or M&A).
- Share dilution. The issue of additional shares by a company may reduce the value of shares of existing investors.
