Highlights ⭐

  • Solving a problem: According to the World Bank, the global shortage of health professionals is expected to rise to around 20 million by 2030. In Germany, according to a survey by the Ipsos Institute, 61% believe that the shortage of healthcare professionals is the main issue of the German healthcare system.
  • Stress-free job search: This is one of Medwing's key selling points as it manages the entire recruiting process, from applications to interview scheduling to career counseling. As a result, candidates will only have one application to fill out. And the platform supports both short-term and permanent jobs.
  • Expansion plans: The company is just getting started and is still looking to grow in Germany and the UK. After that, the goal is to expand further across Europe.
  • Media love: During the years, Medwing has been featured in several publications, including Die ZEIT, Handelsblatt, T-Online, Der Spiegel, Der Tagesspiegel, TechCrunch, Bild, Business Insider, ProSieben, Sifted, Red Herring, and more.

Quotes 💬

“
Medwing gives power, autonomy and transparency to nurses, addressing some of the inefficiencies in the healthcare staffing industry. Medwing perfectly illustrates our view that digital marketplaces can help to unlock supply in sectors which are not yet fully online. This is why we chose to double-down on our investment in Medwing through their series B.
— Ovidiu Solomonov, VP Global Markets and Ventures at Adevinta 🔗
“
The digitalisation of work and digital health are among Cathay Innovation's core investment themes. MEDWING stands exactly at this crossroad and it is therefore no coincidence that with the returning of Costanza Carissimo to Europe, we chose the company for our first investment in Germany. We strongly believe in Johannes and Timo's vision and are excited to leverage our global platform to support them as they expand further across Europe.
— Jacky Abitbol, Partner at Cathay Innovation 🔗

The healthcare sector is under increasing pressure. MEDWING offers candidates and healthcare providers a platform that improves the experience of finding and retaining talent. Johannes and Timo have a deep understanding of the market and are well positioned to build a market leader in this area.
