Jon Tomberlin

Jon Tomberlin is a Principal on the Healthcare investment team at Shore Capital Partners, a Chicago-based private equity firm specializing in microcap and lower-middle-market businesses across healthcare, food & beverage, business services, industrials, and real estate. He has risen through the firm's investment ranks over several years, moving from Associate to Vice President and, most recently, to Principal. In September 2021 he was promoted to Vice President in Healthcare, where his mandate centered on conducting due diligence on new investment opportunities and implementing value-creation initiatives within portfolio companies.

Before joining Shore, Tomberlin worked as a Private Equity Associate at The Allstate Corporation, contributing to the insurer's principal investing activities. Earlier in his career he was an Investment Banking Analyst at SunTrust (now Truist), where he built financial models and supported transaction execution.

He holds a B.S. from the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University.

In his current role, Tomberlin serves as a key Shore deal contact and board-level partner for several healthcare portfolio companies, working alongside management teams on growth strategy, add-on acquisitions, and operational improvement — the core of Shore's "buy-and-build" approach in fragmented healthcare niches.

• Invests through Shore's institutional Healthcare Partners funds (the firm closed its sixth Healthcare fund, "Healthcare Fund VI," with over $625M in October 2025, bringing firmwide AUM past $14B).
• Targets microcap and lower-middle-market healthcare companies, typically $5M–$200M in revenue, with a preference for proven, profitable businesses rather than early-stage/venture risk.
• Pursues control equity investments and a platform + add-on ("buy-and-build") strategy to consolidate fragmented healthcare subsectors.
• Looks for strong, committed management teams, stable cash flow, and clear paths to both organic and acquisition-driven growth — Shore "supports management partners to grow faster through access to capital and operational resources."
• Subsector emphasis spans healthcare services, payor services, and products & distribution, including behavioral/mental health, urgent & primary care, and patient-services businesses.
