About
Myca Partners was founded by Rob Frankfurt to take large, concentrated activist investments in small cap US public markets. Notable investments include positions in Charming Shoppes, Inc. (owner of plus size women's retailer Lane Bryant) and Pediatric Services of America, Inc., which were both successfully sold.
While conducting research for our investment in Lane Bryant, we came to understand the depth of the obesity and chronic illness epidemic impacting the USA.
According to the CDC:
- 50% of adult Americans have 1 or more chronic illnesses
- 70% of deaths in the US are the result of preventable chronic related illness
- Chronic illness costs nearly $3 Trillion per year in health costs and lost employee productivity
We believe many of these illnesses are preventable and reversible through lifestyle changes and have shifted our activist mindset to focus on creating and investing in health and wellness businesses catering to tackling the problem of preventing/reversing chronic illness through lifestyle changes.
We are working on the launch of Living Fund to make these investments.
