The Legacy of Madison Dearborn Partners

In this episode we speak with Elizabeth Betten, Partner and Co-Head of Healthcare at Madison Dearborn Partners. Elizabeth was recognized by GrowthCap as a Top Woman Leader in Growth Investing of 2024.

Madison Dearborn has a history in Chicago that dates back to the early 1980s when its founders built a $2.6 billion management buyout and venture capital portfolio at First Chicago Venture Capital. In 1992, the founders established MDP as an independent firm, and, since then, the firm has raised aggregate capital of over $31 billion, and has completed investments in more than 160 companies.

Elizabeth joined MDP in 2004 as an Associate and re-joined after business school in 2008. Prior to MDP, she worked in healthcare investment banking at J.P. Morgan.

Elizabeth supports Stanley Manne Children's Research Institute and Lincoln Park Zoo.
