Clipboard

Clipboard Health is an innovative healthcare staffing platform and digital talent marketplace that connects nurses and allied health professionals with short-staffed healthcare facilities. Founded in 2016 by Wei Deng and backed by heavyweight investors like Sequoia Capital and IVP, the company is on a mission to solve the chronic understaffing and burnout crisis in the US healthcare system. Under the hood, the platform functions as a highly flexible, two-sided marketplace. It empowers independent healthcare professionals to browse open shifts, build their own schedules, and get paid instantly upon clocking out. At the same time, it provides medical facilities with immediate access to a vast, vetted supply network to seamlessly fill short and long-term staffing gaps. Their primary target audience spans independent nurses, nursing assistants, and medical facilities—including hospitals, clinics, and long-term care centers—struggling with high turnover and strict patient-to-staff ratios. What sets Clipboard Health apart in the traditional healthcare staffing industry is its purely tech-driven, on-demand operating model; they eliminate the friction of traditional agencies, giving nurses full control over their careers while ensuring facilities can rapidly maintain high standards of patient care.
