NextStep

NextStep is an innovative healthcare job marketplace and mentorship company founded in 2018 and headquartered in the United States. The company aims to address the CNA crisis in the US by partnering with CNA schools and algorithmically matching every graduate with their first job. Graduates not only receive top pay at leading facilities, but also benefit from 90 days of on-the-job mentorship and unlimited access to skill refresher videos and healthcare resources. One of NextStep's key differentiators is its focus on reducing turnover within the industry. The company conducts regular turnover risk assessments with placed CNAs during their first 90 days on the job. When issues are identified, employer partners receive risk alert notifications, ultimately contributing to a reduction in churn and an increase in job satisfaction. In its latest funding round, NextStep secured a $3.30M Series A investment from a group of prominent investors including Frontier Angel Fund, Jazz Venture Partners, SpringRock Ventures, Zoma Capital, Johnson & Johnson Foundation, and ETF@JFFLabs at an investment event on 20 October 2021. This financial support will likely help the company further expand its operations and address the caregiver crisis in the US healthcare industry.
