KARE lets you hire the help it sends
The senior care marketplace earns money when clinicians work a shift, then lets communities hire them without a placement fee. Its next move is a free scheduler designed to catch expensive decisions before they happen.
Relode bets the next hire is someone you already know
A healthcare recruiter built on paid introductions has grown into a hands-on staffing partner. Its most useful lesson: a bigger candidate list means little if nobody can turn it into a hire.
SnapCare Hit $1.1 Billion in a Crisis. Then It Had to Build a Company for Normal Times
The nurse-staffing app went from $3 million to $1.1 billion in revenue as COVID scrambled hospitals. Its harder act is happening now: turning emergency speed into software that helps facilities need fewer emergency hires.
Heidi Morin Put a Number on What the Hospital Floor Already Knew
A nurse director was asked to trim her workforce. Her own calculator found the unit was 9.6 full-time nurses short - and gave Heidi Morin the blueprint for a company built between the bedside and the budget office.
The Nurse Staffing Spreadsheet That Told a Hospital It Needed 9.6 More Nurses
Heidi Morin was told to cut staff. Her own calculator found the unit was 9.6 nurses short. Parity grew from that argument into a system designed to make clinical reality legible to hospital finance teams.
The Staffing Company Trying to Turn Hospital Chaos Into a Control Panel
Cross Country Healthcare spent four decades putting people into hard-to-fill shifts. Its next act is to make the whole labor system visible - and, under new private ownership, prove that staffing data can be as valuable as staffing itself.
IntelyCare
IntelyCare is a Quincy, Massachusetts-based healthcare talent platform that connects nursing professionals with per diem, contract, and permanent shifts through an AI-powered mobile marketplace. Founded in 2016, it employs its nurses as W2 workers with benefits, malpractice coverage and same-day pay, while giving skilled nursing facilities, hospitals and health systems on-demand access to credentialed clinicians. After a $115M Series C that pushed its valuation past $1 billion, IntelyCare acquired acute-care staffing platform CareRev in January 2026 to build one of the industry's most comprehensive clinical workforce solutions.
Matthew Levesque
Matthew Levesque is chief executive of IntelyCare, the Quincy, Massachusetts nurse-staffing platform that pairs per-diem shifts with roughly a million registered nursing professionals. He arrived in July 2024 after running Groups Recover Together and, before that, connectRN, and before that spending twelve years at athenahealth as it grew from a hundred-million-dollar company to a $1.3 billion one. In December 2025 he engineered IntelyCare's acquisition of CareRev, combining two of the loudest names in shift-based nurse labor into a single platform for hospitals and post-acute facilities.
Vitalize
Vitalize is a San Francisco health-tech company building an AI platform that helps hospitals and health systems optimize labor - unifying staffing, scheduling, patient flow, and capacity in one system. Founded by Veeraj Shah, Sanketh Andhavarapu, and Nikhil DSouza and shaped in Y Combinator's W23 batch, the company began as a mental-health support tool for burned-out clinicians and evolved into the operational backbone that decides who works where and when, cutting manual scheduling time by roughly 70% and reaching demonstrated ROI in under 90 days.
M7 Health
M7 Health is an AI-powered workforce operations platform built for the realities of hospital nurse staffing and scheduling. Founded in 2022 by a former bedside nurse and her Harvard Business School classmate, M7 forecasts staffing demand, auto-balances schedules, fills open shifts before hospitals reach for expensive premium labor, and gives nurses a real voice in when they work. It now runs as the workforce operating system for 15,000+ healthcare professionals across 60+ hospitals.
Ilana Borkenstein
Ilana Borkenstein is the co-founder and CEO of M7 Health, a New York healthtech company building nurse staffing and scheduling software designed by the people who live the night shift. A registered nurse who worked a bone marrow transplant unit at Memorial Sloan Kettering - the literal M7 floor the company is named for - she turned a Harvard Business School class project into a platform now used daily by tens of thousands of clinicians across more than 60 hospitals. M7 has raised about $17 million, including a $10 million Series A led by Threshold Ventures, on a single idea: fix nurse scheduling not as a math problem but as a human one.
Float Health
Float Health runs an on-demand marketplace that dispatches vetted registered nurses to patients' homes for specialty medication infusions. The San Francisco startup pairs an AI-powered scheduling platform with a gig-style nurse network, and acts as the staffing backbone for specialty pharmacies like CVS, Optum, Walgreens, Kroger and Option Care Health.
