NPHub Secures $20M Growth Investment from Edison Partners to Expand the Country's Nurse Practitioner Population
ATLANTA & NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- NPHub, the country's first digital platform matching nurse practitioner students and professionals with clinical rotation and job placements, and Edison Partners, a leading growth equity firm, today announced a $20 million growth equity investment. The company is already delivering tremendous value across the nursing ecosystem with students, universities and healthcare providers and poised to scale through an expanded set of services for nurses and other advanced practice healthcare professionals. Amid an aging population and increased healthcare needs, the American Association of Medical Colleges projects a shortage of 180,000 physicians within the next decade. To offset this, the U.S. healthcare system is hiring more nurse practitioners with their numbers estimated to grow by 45% from 2021 to 2032. These professionals face rigorous training requirements and a complex hiring process while historically having to use inefficient, manual processes. NPHub brings students, their universities and healthcare organizations modernization and support to match nurse practitioners with necessary clinical training and employment opportunities. 'There's such a huge need for nurse practitioners and, until now, they've had to cold call and email, searching for months for training opportunities and later for jobs. These professionals, their educators and employers deserve better,' said Krish Chopra, co-founder and CEO, NPHub. 'We saw a complex problem, built a technology platform to solve it at scale, and with Edison's capital, industry experience and operating expertise, we have the ideal partner to help us accelerate our growth.' Since NPHub's founding in 2017, the business has enjoyed profitable, capital-efficient growth by effectively and efficiently matching nurse practitioner students with preceptors (in-clinic mentors) for the clinical rotations required to graduate. The new – and first institutional – capital comes as the business is posting record metrics. Nursing student growth jumped more than 100 percent over the last 12 months and clinical rotation placements through the platform have reached more than ten thousand. The company will use the growth capital to bolster its technology platform and growth initiatives, including developing enterprise solutions for and partnerships with universities and employers, as well as the expansion of services for nurses and other healthcare professionals along their career lifecycles. This includes a new hiring service, NPHire, for NP graduates seeking full time positions set to launch in the coming months. Currently in a pilot phase, it has attracted more than 7,000 candidates and 60 employers as early adopters of its job matching capabilities. 'We are proud to partner with Krish and team to better the nurse practitioner's entire career lifecycle and, in turn, our country's healthcare system at large,' said Kelly Ford, general partner, Edison Partners. 'The company is already delivering tremendous value across the nursing ecosystem with students, universities and healthcare providers and poised to scale through an expanded set of services for nurses and other advanced practice healthcare professionals.'
